EDIT: Just read a CoE where says that with RATE you bring the character in to play, not just show the card as I thought. Knowing this, are the two scenarios described above still valid?

Ride Against the Enemy will bring the character into play for the attack.
"Reveal" does not mean "play", but Official Rulings Digest #39 is actually (legitimate or not) errata for Ride Against the Enemy.
Without that errata nothing would stop a player from using and potentially eliminating an unique character already in active play, or an unique eliminated character.
All I wrote before in this thread is with assumption that CoE#39 is valid (at least in quoted part).
Where I was wrong was the comment:
(Ringwraith may survive attack, but in result of body check it may be returned to hand)
Sorry. I overlooked that:
"A single‐strike hazard creature attack is made on the company with the attributes of the revealed character with +7 prowess"
so no actual character is involved in combat, even if it is eliminated if the attack is defeated. Consequently a body check is made against s single‐strike hazard creature attack, not against character (not against Ringwraith).
Thanks for your watchfulness.

"The attack is detainment if the revealed character and the company are both minion or both hero. If defeated, place the character in your opponent's marshalling point pile-he receives the character's marshalling points as kill points. Otherwise, discard the character."
With or without CoE#39 a result of defeating is the same - the character goes to MP pile.
CoE#39 has impact on "Otherwise, discard the character." . Without CoE#39 character is considered revealed and not in play, with CoE#39 it is considered in play so discarding it may be alternated by Press-Gang.
