Q1: Does a "may digivolve this card as if the Tamer is a Digimon" effect also treat the Tamer that will become a digivolution card as a Digimon when it digivolves?
Yes, it also treats the Tamer as a Digimon when it digivolves. It treats it as a Digimon that digivolves, therefore "when a Digimon would digivolve" effects and "when a Digimon digivolves" effects will trigger. In addition, if a "Digimon can't digivolve" effect activates, digivolution won't be possible using this effect that also treats the Tamer as a Digimon.
Q2: When using the Koji Minamoto: Cost 2 digivolution requirement to digivolve, can I use a "may digivolve this card as if the Tamer is a Digimon" effect to treat that Koji Minamoto as a Digimon for digivolving?
Yes, you can. If you do, it's treated as a Digimon that digivolves, therefore "when a Digimon would digivolve" effects and "when a Digimon digivolves" effects will trigger. In addition, if a "Digimon can't digivolve" effect activates, it won't be possible to use this effect to treat that Tamer as a Digimon.
Q3: Is a digivolution bonus draw performed even when a Tamer digivolves?
Yes, you perform a digivolution bonus draw. A digivolution bonus draw is performed for any kind of digivolution.
Q4: If this card digivolves from a Tamer that was played this turn, can it attack in the same turn?
No, it can't. Even if a card digivolves from a card that was placed on the field in the same turn, it can't attack during that turn. It can only attack in the turns after it's played.
Q5: Does a Tamer card placed under a Digimon become a digivolution card?
Yes, it becomes a digivolution card. If that Digimon would leave the field, the Tamer card will be trashed like a normal digivolution card.
Q6: When I use this card's 2nd When Attacking effect to digivolve into a Digimon card with the Hybrid trait in the hand, can it digivolve regardless of its digivolution requirements?
No, this card's When Attacking effect does not allow ignoring digivolution requirements, so you can only digivolve into a card that meets the digivolution requirements.
Q7: When this card attacks, which of its 2 When Attacking effects activate first?
They trigger simultaneously, so the turn player chooses the effect to activate first. However, if you activate the 2nd When Attacking effect first and digivolve, the 1st When Attacking can no longer be activated.
Q8: Can I choose to not digivolve with this card's 1st effect?
No, you can't. For this card's 1st effect, you declare a digivolution, then upon revealing this card, you can also choose a Tamer as the card to digivolve, and that Tamer is also treated as a level 3 Digimon. As with the normal digivolution procedure, after revealing this card and declaring a digivolution, you can't choose to not digivolve. In addition, you can't declare digivolution into this card in the first place unless there is a card on the field that you can digivolve.
Q9: Does a Digimon gain the security effects in the lower text of a Tamer card in its digivolution cards?
No, it does not.
Q10: Does a Digimon gain the inherited effects in the lower text of a Tamer card in its digivolution cards?
Yes, it does.
