revised What's the strategic advantage of building around alternate win conditions?
Since you want your four questions answered, making them more prominent will probably help.

accepted In Magic, when Magus of the Unseen returns an untapped artifact to its original controller, is there a delay before it becomes tapped?

accepted In Magic, when and why did the rules change to check life totals “continuously” instead of at the end of each phase?

comment Do you die instantaneously if your life total hits 0?
Note that in earlier versions of the rules, life totals weren't checked until the end of a phase or combat, so you had plenty of time for the trigger to resolve and bring you above 0 life. I'm not sure when this changed to the modern ruling, but it was well after Force of Nature and Spirit Link were printed.

Your answer implies (by omission) that neither creature gets the destroy-same-name ability, which I don't think is correct. The Twin should get the ability because it modifies the copy, and the Ghoul should also get the ability because copy-modifications are themselves copyable.

revised In Magic, can an ability target a permanent that is being sacrificed as part of that ability's activation cost?
Rewrote the main part of the question to clarify what is being asked

Clarify that the question is about whether the same creature can be both the target and the sacrifice.

Yes, the key part is whether the same creature can be both the target and the sacrifice. The rest of the scenario just sets the stage for why you might actually want to do that, since normally it would be a terrible idea.

The ability won't resolve, of course.
