How do you tell if an attack hits your spirit companion or not? Do all attacks to the spirit companion automatically hit, or do they have a DC of some kind?

Summons and Conjurations share your Defenses if they are attackable.

They share your *non-modified* defenses. Meaning, if you have a power effect on you which is raising or lowering your defenses, the spirit companion does not gain that bonus as well.
There are Shaman powers and feats which can increase the spirit companion's defenses though.

Q: Can a spirit companion carry anything?
Q: Can a spirit companion make basic attacks and/or charge?
Q: In PBH2 conjuration movement states they can not move through solid objects. What about murder holes, they are not solid and you still have line of sight into them?
Q: What about bloodrock and other terrain, does it effect the spirit's rolls?

Q: When a Protector Spirit Shaman uses Spirit's Shield, does the ally gain additional hit points equal to your constitution modifier for being adjacent to your SC?

Q: Can a spirit companion carry anything?
The rules are fairly silent on this, but in general I would say no since it has no ability scores or skills. Ask your DM.
Q: Can a spirit companion make basic attacks and/or charge?
No. It can only make attacks that have the spirit keyword and no basic attacks or charges have the spirit keyword.
Q: In PBH2 conjuration movement states they can not move through solid objects. What about murder holes, they are not solid and you still have line of sight into them?
I would say yes, but ask your DM. I do not know if this would count as blocking terrain. see below.
Q: What about bloodrock and other terrain, does it effect the spirit's rolls?
I do not know what bloodrock does since it is not in the compendium, but the compendium entry on conjurations says conjurations can move through all difficult terrain and are not effected by their environment, but they can not move through blocking terrain. This is the first time I have seen the term "blocking terrain" so I am not sure what it applies to and it does not have a specific entry although several powers, items, and traps refer to it. I sounds like it would be in one of the DMGs, but I do not own those books. Anyone know?

Not trying to be a crap-disturber, but do you have a reference for this? I've played it this way before but other people have challenged my interpretation and I couldn't find something to back it up. Thanks!

Both the PHB2 page 220 and the compendium say "If your conjuration can be attacked or physically affected, it uses your defenses." and make no mention of unmodified defenses.

The spirit never makes rolls or attacks. The shaman is the one making the attacks and the attack rolls, so terrain like blood rock only matters if the shaman is standing on it.
Think of the spirit companion as merely a portal through which the shaman is making attacks, albeit one that can be disrupted by an enemy's targeted attacks. That point of view will generally lead you in the right direction for interpreting how the rules interact with it.
