As to Hinata she doesn't need to be in spot 1 or the actual first row available to be placed in. As long as she is in a row with no one in a row in front of her all regular standard attacks will attack her during her mystery.

When i ran empress i would put wind main in the very first spot, and then hinata in the middle of the front row in spot 2. All standard attacks would attack hinata, excepting things like gnw Kankuro puppet attack or sage naruto standard attack with clone.
And also if you have 2 hashirama's in spot 4, the hashi with the faster initiative will go first and activate his barrier first. Then the slower hashi would activate his, over riding the faster hashi. I utilized this during space time by removing gear on my hashi to make sure i was slower then other hashi teams.
