I'm at work right now, so I can't go into deeper detail until later but I can give some short answers Stormblade.
1. All classes and jobs utilize aether in some way and pugilist isn't any different. Using aether isn't necessary for fistfighting, but pugilists at the Ul'dahn guild do use it to power their strikes. Something I want to add is that Ul'dahn pugilism and Ala Mhigan monks aren't related. "Chakras" is an Ala Mhigan-centric belief, so while the monkhood says all people have these chakras just unable to open them, the rest of Eorzea may or may not be aware of their existence.
2. I wouldn't call it "anti-magic" per say, but yes. There are materials, rooms, and wards which dampen the effects of magic as well as limit one's ability to wield it. Gold plating, for example, dampens the effects of magic. Duskwight Pomanders are another example. I thought there was evidence for anti-magic wards on jail cells but I couldn't find it on a quick search.
3. Tentatively, yes. Items can be cursed or ensorcelled, so there's no reason to say it can't be done. For example, Raubahn's sword is actually cursed with flame. If someone lacks the strength to wield it, they will burst into flame, however, if they can overcome the sword's power, they can wield the flame as Raubahn does.
4. Chocobos can be eaten, but are not typically used as a food source. A hunter in Tailfeather eats a chocobo during that questline and it doesn't go over well. Chocobos are already rare creatures as it is.
- Chocobo Lore
That said, there are livestock animals in Eorzea as well. Cows, sheep, chickens, pigs, aldgoats, aurochs, etc are all canon farm animals. Cow and aldgoat milk are the two most popular Eorzean milk-producers.
5. Sadly, we don't have more lore on that. We don't know when or just how frequently Hellsguard are sent away. We just know that it happens. So that's up to individual player headcanon.
6. In lore, Keeper of the Moon males are wanderers and rarely stay in any one community for an extended period of time.
Hope this helps! ^^ I'll try to come back later and edit in more info and sources.

Muah Lihzeh Wrote:The men of the Keepers of the Moon live a wanderer's life, for they are at their best in small doses. Women and children keep the hearth, ply various trades, and accept game and visits from the menfolk. But King Poach denies women this gods-given rule over matters of family. He forces women to live with him, forbids them to see their sisters, mothers, aunts. Most unnaturally, they lie with him and him alone! So terrible are their crimes that all Keepers of the Moon feel the suspicion and fear cast their way.

As you likely already know, we Keepers of the Moon are not raised with a father, so it was just my mother with us at home. Now, of course, I live on my own. After one of my older sisters moved to Ul'dah, I decided to follow her example and leave the Black Shroud.
