#1: My opponent Overwhelms his defending personality, I choose to destroy my unbowed Osamito. Can I use the House of the Spring Chrysantemun to save the poor ninja?. Also with bowing the same Osamito to pay the House cost?.
#2: Another battle, I have in that battle only one Scorpion with a Troll War Band attached. Opponent has used the Death of Ryoshun, naming the Troll War Band. I can't pass, since the Troll War Band trait. I have no more actions to do, period, and I can't bow the Troll to perform one of his actions because of the Death. How can I solve this?
#3: Another (and last) battle: My opponent play an action that bow some card as an effect. Can I redirect it to a already bowed card?
Thanks for your time and sorry for my poor english

Yes. Yes.

Play every action you legally can, then get on with the game.

In general, yes.
