Yes.  The Fiend Hunter is human, so it is not non-human.

Fiend Hunter is a human, so Spare from Evil will not help

Fiend Hunter is a human. As such, Spare from Evil won't interact with its abilities at all - Spare from Evil grants protections from non-humans (such as Olivia Voldaren ).

Now, if it were protection from white... say, as granted by an Apostle's Blessing - then casting that on the creature Fiend Hunter targets will save that creature from being exiled, as targets are checked for legality when the ability goes to resolve, and a target with protection from white is an illegal target for an ability from a white source.
I'm all about super-control in MTG. If you're able to stop my shenanigans, then there aren't enough shenanigans.

Yes it will.  When the creature comes back it is a new object, not the same on targeted, so the the Fiend Hunter's ability will fizzle.

if you blink it after it has been targetted by the trigger, yes

With blink, the target disappears and that counters the targeting effect, even if it comes back into play before the last effect resolves?
TLDR
