Kess, Dissident Mage allows you to cast an instant or sorcery spell from the graveyard. This means you can move any card from the graveyard to the stack, as long as the resulting spell is an instant or sorcery. You are allowed to cast Granted from Fae of Wishes being in your graveyard, or cast Flamethrower Sonata  ^Flip from Torrent Sculptor  ^Flip being in your graveyard. Because Fae of Wishes goes on an adventure when Granted resolves rather than going to the graveyard, you'll be able to cast it later rather than being permanently exiled by Kess, Dissident Mage's ability.

I believe not. I'm sure one of the more experienced rules-ologists can provide a more technical answer, but basically, Bonecrusher Giant is an instant, Bonecrusher Giant is a creature separate from that instant, and Clone only copies creatures. Similarly, Clone can't copy Flamethrower Sonata  ^Flip, only Torrent Sculptor  ^Flip.

No, modal double-faced cards (MDFCs) have some specific search rules to keep them from being too broken. Specifically, when an MDFC is considered to only have the characteristics of its front face except when it's being cast, it's on the stack, or it's in play (when it will be the face you chose to play).

When an effect allows you to play/cast spells or lands of a certain type, you can play any side of an MDFC that matches the requirement (for example, casting the back of Torrent Sculptor  ^Flip from the top of your library with Melek, Izzet Paragon).

However, when an effect instructs you to search for a card, move a card somewhere, or put a card into play, it can only find the front face of an MDFC. Enduring Ideal can't find the back of Esika, God of the Tree  ^Flip because of this.
