Can the Shadowed Estate of the Scorpion ability target a created card. For example the Monkey created by Kitsune Yamazaru? Are created cards considered dynasty cards since, in this case, they are personalities and personalities are dynasty cards?

Small, but important point: The Shadowed Estate of the Scorpion doesn't target.

With the Stronghold's action, you name a Dynasty card in play, however created cards, such as those from Kitsune Yamazaru's Interrupt, do not have a title by default, and thus cannot be named.

Since this only answered the question for most plausible situations, but not all possible ones I feel compelled to ask.

Can The Shadowed Estate of the Scorpion prevent The False Nimuro from using Come One at a Time?

Yes, in one of the very few instances where a created card is actually given a title by the effect that created it (The False Nimuro is one of only a handful of such created cards), then it could be named by the Shadowed Estate.
