If Salut clan impersonates to Baali, would he reduce the damage to
himself from his own Eye of Unforgiving Heaven strike to 0? I believe
so, since it is damage done to him by a Baali.
Would he reduce the damage to himself from his own Burst of Sunlight
strike to 0? I believe not, since the Burst of Sunlight text specifies
that the damage to the striking minion is environmental, not from the
minion.

No. Reducing "inflicted" damage doesn't reduce self-inflicted damage.
(cf. the old Blood Rage/Blood Fury rulings). Similarly, an Ex Nihilo'ed
vampire with a Improvised Flame Thrower would take damage from his FT
if he receives damage at long range.

Correct.
