Elvish Dreadlord's middle ability affects only creatures on the battlefield that aren't Elves at the time it resolves. Non-Elf creatures that enter the battlefield later in the turn won't get -3/-3.

Exiling the card with encore is a cost to activate the ability. Once you announce that you're activating it, no player may take actions until you've finished. They can't try to remove the card from your graveyard to stop you from paying the cost.

If one of the tokens can't attack for any reason (such as being tapped), then it doesn't attack. If there's a cost associated with having it attack, you aren't forced to pay that cost, so it doesn't have to attack in that case either.
