Urg. It's been so long since I watched, so canon may elude me.
1. Go check out the Wikipedia articles for Riche and Methos. It lists Jesse Benoit (??-Apr 1808-??) and Timothy Wyatt (1996-??) as Watchers for Methos (though I'm pretty sure the first one wasn't aware he was Methos), and Mike Barrett (1994-1995) as Richie's Watcher. Richie became Immortal around 1994 and died ::sob:: in 1997, so there was some time near the end without a Watcher. One would assume Joe took over that duty, probably around the time Duncan and Richie parted ways for a while and hit the road.
There's also a list of all known Watchers and their subjects, which is interesting to peruse.
I'm pretty sure a lot of the stuff on Methos' page is from the books, and I don't really consider those true canon. Some of the info on both may from the books, or a passing mention in an episode, but I'm not sure which is which.
2. Joe bent the rules quite a lot, but I'd have trouble buying a Watcher in a top secret job because of the complication of getting the top secret clearance. Trying to keep one secret life separate from another secret life would be kinda difficult.
3. A wee bit.
4. ::thud::
5. Is that even a question? Chaya would be a pile of dust that wouldn't fill an ashtray.
