Yep. And I don't think any qualifier is needed on 'opponent' type cases as they have to be written in a way that they work when you Kick Open a Door.

2. Can I use monster enhancers on a monster I am fighting? And other potions?
Yep. You can play One-Shot Items to aid the monsters if you like. And playing Monster Enhancers on monsters you know you can kill is a good way to get extra Treasure too.

3. Can I toss in a Wandering Monster or Undead Monster in a battle that I myself am fighting?
Assuming you follow the rules, yes (there must already be an Undead to play Undeads without Wandering Monster).

4. Can I use a variety of abilities or other cards on myself, if the card wording made that possible and appropriate?
I'm fairly sure that's a yes, but this one seems rather vague. What sort of stuff are you talking about? An example of something that can't happen is that a Thief cannot Backstab himself as it says you can only choose another player. I guess you could backstab your helper or the guy who you are helping if you really wanted to, though...

A. Can I use potions and the like to boost my own strength when I am already winning the battle? (reasons to do this: stuff like getting a 2nd level from Orc ability, or what have you)
Yes, but you still have to give reasonable time after doing this before actually claiming victory.

B. Well, this isn't entirely related, but is at least associated with combat. If someone tosses something like "Death" on a monster for any reason, and that was the last monster in the combat, is it already too late to toss in a Wandering Monster or an Undead Monster at this point? How about "Dead Broke?"
If the card mentions anything that implies combat is over, then it is too late. Otherwise, you still have to provide reasonable time before claiming victory, in which a Wandering Monster could be played. Neither Dead nor Dead Broke end the combat, and Dead Broke doesn't remove the monster, just its Treasure, so you still have to beat it to get a level or Run Away from it if you can't. An example of a card which does end the combat is Friendship Potion as it says the player who was in combat may Loot the Room.
