Olag, Ludevic's Hubris

Legendary Creature — Zombie

As Ludevic, Necrogenius  ^Flip transforms, this becomes a copy of a creature card exiled with Ludevic, except this creature's name is Olag, Ludevic's Hubris, is a 4/4 and is a legendary blue and black Zombie in addition to this creature's other colours and types. Put a number of +1/+1 counters on Olag, Ludevic's Hubris equal to the number of creature cards exiled with Ludevic.

Neotrup on How do multi-faced cards handle …

A TDFC with daybound only transforms if it is on it's front face. If it's on it's back face and still has daybound due to being a copy, it simply remains on it's back face. The game will not become a draw. This scenario is actually quite easy to set up by having Ludevic, Necrogenius  ^Flip exile a daybound card, as Olag, Ludevic's Hubris  ^Flip would be a back face copying a front face.

9/24/2021 It's possible for Olag to become a copy of a card with the daybound keyword ability as it transforms. If this happens, it doesn't transform as it becomes night.

702.145c Any time a player controls a permanent that is front face up with daybound and it' s night, that player transforms that permanent. This happens immediately and isn’t a state-based action.

Yes, the copy effect will still apply over the card's printed characteristics. Transforming still counts as "transforming", and for Cult of the Waxing Moon, the effect will depend on what characteristics the copy effect is giving it:

701.28e Some triggered abilities trigger when an object "transforms into" an object with a specified characteristic. Such an ability triggers if the object transforms and has the specified characteristic immediately after it transforms.

Whether the Daybound/Nightbound ability causes the card to transform depends on what face is currently showing. If Olag, Ludevic's Hubris becomes a copy of something with Daybound, it won't transform when day becomes night because it's already back face up.

702.145b Daybound is found on the front faces of some transforming double-faced cards and represents three static abilities. "Daybound" means "If it is night, this permanent enters the battlefield transformed," "As it becomes night, if this permanent is front face up, transform it," and "This permanent can't be transformed except by its daybound ability." See rule 724, "Day and Night."

702.145c Any time a player controls a permanent that is front face up with daybound and it's night, that player transforms that permanent. This happens immediately and isn't a state-based action.

702.145f Any time a player controls a permanent that is back face up with nightbound and it's day, that player transforms that permanent. This happens immediately and isn't a state-based action.

Rhadamanthus on Ludevic, Necrogenius and Dark Imposter

In your example, Olag, Ludevic's Hubris won't have the abilities from the other exiled creatures. This is because both Olag and Dark Impostor use special kinds of abilities called "Linked Abilities". Linked abilities on one card are only linked to each other, and if they're given to another card they won't take information from abilities of that other card. The second Impostor ability only considers creatures exiled with the first Impostor ability. It won't consider the cards exiled by Ludevic, Necrogenius  ^Flip's ability (Ludevic and Olag are the same game object).

Here are the relevant rules references:
607.1. An object may have two abilities printed on it such that one of them causes actions to be taken or objects or players to be affected and the other one directly refers to those actions, objects, or players. If so, these two abilities are linked: the second refers only to actions that were taken or objects or players that were affected by the first, and not by any other ability.
607.2a If an object has an activated or triggered ability printed on it that instructs a player to exile one or more cards and an ability printed on it that refers either to "the exiled cards" or to cards "exiled with [this object]," these abilities are linked. The second ability refers only to cards in the exile zone that were put there as a result of an instruction to exile them in the first ability.
