1. The Noble and Great Ones were those who proved to God they would follow Him in all circumstances. The second half of the question is one of grammar. It could also be read "He saw many noble and great ones among the multitude of spirits.

2. There is two parts to the assignment. The first is to assist in the creation of the world. The second is to assist in the testing of mankind. (See Alma 13)

3. It seems to answer itself. "the Gods, organized and formed the heavens and the earth." The Noble and Great Ones, of whom Abraham was one before his birth, are the Gods referred to here. Keep in mind that both Jehovah and the Holy Ghost achieved Godhood prior to their mortal experience.

4. The Council of the Gods is a difficult concept to comprehend. I don't feel comfortable giving a complete answer here. Perhaps someone else does.
