Playing Creatures at an Agent's Site (Agent Action)
If one of your agents and one of your opponent's companies are both at the same Ruins & Lairs, Shadow-hold, or Dark-hold, you may tap the agent and then attack that company with any non-unique hazard creatures (regardless of what they are keyed to) of the same creature type as the site's automatic-attack.

If one of your agents and one of your opponent's companies are both at the agent's home site, you may tap the agent and then attack that company with certain hazard creatures (regardless of what they are keyed to) based upon the site type:

You may play Men, Dwarves, Elves, Dúnedain, and Hobbits at Free-Holds.
You may play Orcs, Nazgûl, Men, Dwarves, Elves, Dúnedain, and Hobbits at Border-Holds.
You may play Orcs, Nazgûl, and Trolls at Ruins & Lairs.
You may play Orcs, Nazgûl, Undead, and Trolls at Shadow-Holds.
You may play Orcs, Nazgûl, and Trolls at Dark-Holds.
In either case, if a creature is played in this manner, the agent is revealed (if it was not already revealed).
How long does this last? Is it for one creature only, to the end of the movement/hazard phase, to the end of the turn, as long as the company is at the site, or the rest of the game?
The game is flawed, but this does not mean it cannot be loved.

Infinitely, like effect of Come By Night Upon Them.
We will not speak of such things even in the morning of the Shire.

Infinite -- as long as the agent is at the site, I presume.

Yes (because, if a creature is played in this manner, he must be revealed [if not already revealed]).
