Murderous Redcap’s power is checked at the time the ability resolves. If it’s left the battlefield by then, its last known information is used.

If a creature with persist stops being a creature, persist will still work.

If a token with no -1/-1 counters on it has persist, the ability will trigger when the token is put into the graveyard. However, the token will cease to exist and can’t return to the battlefield.

If a permanent has multiple instances of persist, they’ll each trigger separately, but the redundant instances will have no effect. If one instance returns the card to the battlefield, the next to resolve will do nothing.
