I can just chuck that bit. It's not that important anyway.

There's a good bit of Elvish blood in Dol Amroth.
Alternatively, you could invent a goodfic romance between a Dunedain and an Elf in Rivendell at approximately the right time, and have your Agent come from that...
Out of curiosity, why those specific fractions?
Could have them be either a semi-fic blip or a bit character who didn't do enough to warrant killing. But yes, Tolkienverse isn't very good with interspecies stuff...
Hang on, just remembered. What about Imrahil and the people of Dol Amroth? It's even stated in Canon that some of them are of Elvish descent, and the people there are Gondorian, which means they're probably descended in part from the Numenoreans.
I highly doubt that any of them would be a full eighth Elvish, but there is Elven blood hanging around there.
4) What would it create then? Because my copy of The Two Towers has quite a few spelling errors when they're heading for Isengard. It's like the proofreader got bored. My favourite typo is Isengrad: Communism arrives in Middle-Earth?
... I think they create individual one-off type things that are, well, whatever the typo is reminiscent of. In the case of Isengrad, perhaps it IS Middle-earth's first Communist city, or something.
*shrug* Do whatever's funny, y'know?
So if I ever encounter a Russian Sue in a LotR badfic, I need to banish her into my copy of LotR?
No, mostly these kinds of things are used as one-off gags, unless they have some kind of useful power.
The existence of Isengrad somewhere in the infinite multiverse does not mean that Russian Sues should go there rather than be assassinated :)
Well, Isengrad might have a gulag. :P
If wishes were horses then beggars would ride!
Perhaps you could make a case for sending her to a gulag, but in the end it needs to be the firing squad for her, I'm afraid :P
I'll answer question 4.
Possibly. It depends on whether fanfic writers use said misprint as canon in their fanfics. A good example is in the Official Fanfiction University of Redwall, where one of the students read an earlier edition of Redwall, which had a misprint that Killconey the ferret was a girl. As a result, said student was responsible for the creation of Girl!Killconey, or Konnie as she is often referred to.
I ask because Blusetar for Bluestar is a misprint in the first Warriors book, Into the Wild. Also Firestorm for Fireheart is somewhere in the first series of six books.
Bad! Firestorm is from The Sight, which is in the THIRD series of six!
Okay, I get it.
5. Is it bad procedure to charge for both OOCness and character replacement?
