I know that there is a menu that you can disable technologies for each player. Let's say I do disable some technologies. Will I be able to research these disabled techs by using the "research technology" effect? (I want to postpone these technologies to be researched unit the effect is triggered)
Do villagers use a bow and arrow when they attack wild boar?
1) You cannot use those triggers on a unit that is not already made. For the triggers, it does not matter if they are your enemy or not. They work as long as the unit exists in the map editor.
2) They both have to exist already.
3) No.
4) Not required and not allowed. They count all units garrisoned. All you get to do is tell them how many.

I have tried to disable techs, and then research them durring the game with triggers. If I recall correctly, it dosen't work. Sorry.
3) No, but they can gather resources by garrisoning into an allied Town Center.
Maybe you could alternate the ownership of the mines (neutral) back and forth?

For an estimate, I would say about... 3 to 4.

Technically, their stats are 0 range, but I don't know if the range for hunter is published. That'd be giddy-up to know. Can you make it so that only female villagers are created from the human player's (player 1) town center? Can you specifically create female and male villagers? or can you only create villagers, and the computer randomly makes some female and others male?
Aro, you can't research a techonology which is disabled, not even via triggers.

I think you must manually make triggers to create female villager. Look at the Units -tab, look which Villager is female (the one above or below) of the Player #.
"Especially awe-inspiring is the fact that any single brain is made up of atoms that were forged in the hearts of countless stars billions of years ago... These atoms now form a conglomerate – your brain – that can not only ponder the very stars that gave it birth but can also think about its own ability to think and wonder about its own ability to wonder. With the arrival of humans…the universe has suddenly become conscious of itself. This, truly, is the greatest mystery of all." - Rama
