A player has Heartless Summoning , and Flayer of the Hatebound on the battlefield.

1) That player casts  Butcher Ghoul and it dies due to  Heartless Summoning .
2) Undying triggers and the player nominates a target for  Flayer of the Hatebound 's ETB trigger.

Does  Butcher Ghoul  deal 2 or 1 (-1/-1 from Heartless Summoning ) damage to the target?

it re-enters the battlefield as a 1/1, so Flayer of the Hatebound 's trigger deals 1 damage

of course you are welcome to use Giant Growth or even Auger Spree to buff that damage
