2. I think ADANEDHEL, because Turin does lose his head in a crisis, but can't completely account for the letters. 'Fellow' could possibly be lad or adan - head is in there as well - and Turin is somewhat charitable ....

Yes, the password is BAD GUYS, and #3. is DWIMMERLAIK, and yes, the "fatal misunderstanding" refers to Glorfindel's prophecy. Well done!
#2. is not ADANEDHEL.
The person in question-
-lived much later than Turin
-was more of a straight bad guy than the conflicted Mormegil
-was not a major character (but played a significant historical role).
The clues are all rather literal. "Somewhat generous" and "losing his head in a crisis" refer to specific happenings, not general character traits.
