  1. No. The Oath deals with Shadow sided elements. It lists the Shadowspawn and darkfriends. At the end of the day, the Forsaken were Aes Sedai that defected to the Dark One, and became his leaders that speak directly for him, and take their orders directly from him, too. They were called Forsaken, because they were trusted Aes Sedai that turned against the world, and are darkfriends that lead on the Dark One's behalf, that all made the conscious choice to turn. Figures that darkfriends 3000 years later idolise as mythological heroes. One was a world famous theologian and philosopher. Ishamael. One was a technological research scientist. Lanfear. One was a world famous clinical psychologist. Graendal. One was a world famous doctor. Semirhage. One was a world famous athlete. Sammael. One was a historian. Balthamel. One was a musical celebrity. Asmodean. One was a teacher. Mesaana. One was a lawyer. Be'lal. One was a banker. Moghedien. One was a biological research scientist. Aginor. One was a politician. Rahvin. One was a world famous diplomat. Demandred. All of them Aes Sedai from the Age Of Legends. All of them turned, because they wanted more than the world could give them. The Shadowspawn are not naturally evolved life forms. They were all built, except for the Fades. They are born of Trollocs. They were made by Aginor after his turn, using human beings and animals in genetic experiments. These are not good people. They are the sort of people even Joker would hate.
  2. The Forsaken are the Shadow's leaders. The shadowspawn follow their commands, and the darkfriends follow them too. Moiraine knows that the Forsaken are in the list by default, since they command the two groups the Oath mentions. They are the example the darkfriends all aspire to be. You saw Ishamael's talk to the little girl, and how he used the interaction with the Trolloc to influence her. The implication is that being a darkfriend has no age limit. A little girl would do just fine as one, and expected to follow their oath of allegiance to the utmost as well.
  3. I took it to mean that Rhuarc knows how to read body language really well. Not one of the Emond's Field Five could fake body language until much later in their lives. He was good enough to catch Lan and Moiraine on their inner thoughts too. It comes from being a chief, with a blood feud with the most deceitful clans in the Shaido. Which was also a clan that lived close by them.
