I play Nevermore my opponent doesn't counter. And when I call Restoration Angel he says he casts it in response. Can he?

Same question for instants while I name them.

Nope. You can't respond to naming a card.

If the card says 'As ***  enters the battlefield...' then there is no opportunity to respond, it is a static ability as opposed to a triggered ability (which would be worded 'When ***  enters the battlefield...') which can be responded to.
