Does Isochron Scepter …...
#2
Under the current rules (it wasn't always this way), Collision / Colossus has a converted mana cost of 4 and can't be imprinted on Isochron Scepter. See below for details.
To your question: a copy of a split card will also be split, and as you cast the copy you choose which side to case. So if you had Wax / Wane imprinted on the Scepter, you would get to choose each time. If you make a copy of the spell on the stack after it's been cast, it will only be the half that was chosen.
708.4 In every zone except the stack, the characteristics of a split card are those of its two halves combined. This is a change from previous rules.
708.4b The mana cost of a split card is the combined mana costs of its two halves. A split card’s colors and converted mana cost are determined from its combined mana cost. An effect that refers specifically to the symbols in a split card’s mana cost sees the separate symbols rather than the whole mana cost.
Example: Assault / Battery’s mana cost is . It’s a red and green card with a converted mana cost of 5. If you cast Assault, the resulting spell is a red spell with a converted mana cost of 1.

Multiple Perimeter Captains...
#3
You get 18 life. The way Perimeter Captain's ability is written, it triggers for each creature with defender that blocks. That means in your example each Captain triggers 3 times, for a total of 9 triggers.

Does Isochron Scepter …...
#4
Yes, that works.
The important thing here is that Isochron Scepter's effect specifically has you "cast" the copy of the imprinted card. If you were to use something like the second ability on Lithoform Engine instead, which copies a spell already on the stack and doesn't "cast" the copy, this wouldn't work.

Lithoform engine copying …...
#5
The copy will still be a mutating creature spell and will have the same target as the original. If a spell does something special when you pay an alternative cost, copies of the spell will also take that into account. Lithoform Engine's last ability doesn't allow you to choose a different target for the copy of the permanent spell, so it has the same target as the original spell.
The copied spell will resolve first, triggering any "whenever this creature mutates..." abilities that the targeted creature already has, and then the original Gemrazer spell will resolve, triggering those abilities plus the ability given by the copy.
To the bonus question: No, this won't trigger Season of Growth. It won't trigger the first ability because there isn't a creature entering the battlefield, and it won't trigger the second ability because the copied spell wasn't "cast".

Yes, you can put the card on top of your library if you want to. Library of Leng's ability applies to any effect that would cause you to discard a card, including ones you control.
Note that it doesn't apply to costs that involve discarding a card. For example, if you cast Waste Away, you won't be able to put the card you discarded for the additional cost on top of your library.

Shuffle permanents into …...
#8
No, you can't shuffle things you don't own into your library. You also can't put things you don't own into your hand or graveyard.
Here's the specific rule that covers it:
400.3 If an object would go to any library, graveyard, or hand other than its owner's, it goes to its owner's corresponding zone.

Interaction between Savage …...
#9
No, the tokens created at the beginning of the additional combat phase won't have double strike.
If an effect changes the characteristics of things (here, Savage Beating gives creatures the "double strike" ability), the group of objects it affects is locked in at the time it resolves. In your example the second round of Elementals don't exist yet at the time Savage Beating resolves, so they won't be affected by it.
