I'll answer the ones that are only Movie/Book 5 spoilers (and hence, no longer spoilers in any fashion whatsoever).

In the movie, Dumbledore suggests they might have been sent by Voldemort, and there is no contradiction to that. But the demontors are under the control of the Ministry and, in the book, it's revealed that Umbridge sent them to attack Harry Potter.

That is Bellatrix LeStrange, cousin to Sirius Black and most devoted (and deranged) follower of Lord Voldemort, whose albino dick she sucks on a regular basis. (That last part's not in the books, but I'm sure of it). Isn't it wonderful how Carter could give such an over-the-top performance that was somehow not cheesy, but instead completely delighful?!

They were in the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic headquarters. The vaporous characters were simply how the advanced witches and wizards got around quickly in the movie (black smoke for Death Eaters, white mist for Phoenix Orderers). I'm not sure if that's their method of magical transport in the book ... I'm not up to that part yet. Which is why I also can't answer about the Archway ... though, as I remember, it remains perhaps the most mysterious thingamabobbie in the wizarding world of J.K. Rowling.

I can't answer this. It's not something that stuck in my mind, and I'm not up to that part of the book in my re-read. I find most of Rowling's McGuffins and mythology to be very tortured and confusing. I'm sure some Harry Potter uber-geek will jump in with the answer to this one.
