When an imbued is brought into play and immediately contested, is there
a window to search the library/hand/ash heap for a conviction card
before he leaves play? I assume not, based on the Proxy Kissed ruling.
If an imbued with no conviction is contested and the contest is later
yielded, when the copy with no conviction returns to play during the
untap phase, is he eligible for both the hand/ash heap/library search
for coming into play and the hand/ash heap during untap search for each
imbued?

No. Just as there is a window for paying three pool for a contested
scarce vampire and a window for burning the tired Jimmy Dunn when a new
one comes in to relieve him, there's a window for giving a Conviction
card to a contested imbued as it enters play (just before it is
contested).
The difference between these and the Proxy Kissed ruling is that these
are events which are triggered by the play of the crypt card. Proxy
Kiss provides its own window -- it isn't called out by the incoming
Giovanni. Path of Tears shares the same fate as Proxy Kissed.
Continuing:
Jack Dawson could grab a weapon from your hand before going to
contest-world.
And a to-be-contested vampire would still penalize you a pool if
Masquerade Enforcement were in play.
Likewise for playing to-be-contested library cards: Secure Haven, Tomb,
and Rack still require their controller to choose an appropriate target
prior to contesting. Abomination requires the burning of a werewolf.
Powerbase: Barranquilla (or Mexico City) gets X (or 5) counters.

Yes.
>From the preview page:
During your untap phase, you may play 1 conviction on each of your
imbued. You may play these conviction cards from your hand or from your
ash heap. When an imbued enters play with no conviction, he may gain 1
conviction from your library, hand or ash heap.
