Question about megaserver (and others)
It is already possible to have the same tag as a guild on your server, so if it wasn’t an issue before I don’t really see why it would suddenly become one now.
Since they have not announced any of those three, it is very unlikely that they will have a general (public-ready) timeline.

Stark, I feel like that’s always been a concern. With megaserver, you’re still more likely to be put with servermates than non-servermates, so I think that would help as well.
As far as your timelines…
1) When they’re done
2) When they’re done
3) When they’re done
ArenaNet usually only announces features like this when they’re finished or very, very close to being finished.

I don’t feel it’s been a concern. On Ehmry Bay, people know who the guilds are. Anyone making a duplicate would simply get stamped out. As it stands, there are no duplicate guilds on that server at all.
As far as I know guild names are unique, but guild tags can be used by multiple people. Why is this a concern? You know who is in your guild because they are displayed in gold rather than green.
If you click on the player trolling, you will see what the full name of the guild is.
As for the other questions, only Anet knows and they will make announcements as they become ready.
