If I use Rare Candy to evolve Charizard ex, can I use its "Infernal Reign" Ability to search for and attach up to 3 Basic {R} energy?: Yes, because Charizard ex is still being played from your hand.

If Iron Hands ex with Heavy Baton is KO'd by Quaquaval ex's "Exciting Dance" attack which pushes it to the Bench after doing damage, does Heavy Baton move energies attached to Iron Hands ex since it is on the bench by the time KO's are checked?: Yes. Heavy Baton checks for two things here: Iron Hands ex was damaged by an attack while it was your Active Pokemon, and Iron Hands ex was Knocked Out by that attack. So even though you don't check for a KO until the attack is completed, the criteria for using Heavy Baton has been met, so it can be used. This holds true for any similar Ability that triggers when the Pokemon is Active and gets damaged by an attack.

If I play Accompanying Flute and find only one Basic Pokemon, do I have to put it onto their bench?: No, since Accompanying Flute says "you may choose any number", you don't have to choose any Basic Pokemon if you don't want to.

If my active Pokemon with 30HP remaining has a Rescue Board tool attached, making it have no Retreat Cost, does Ariados' "Big Net" Ability affect its retreat cost?: Nope, if a Pokemon's Retreat Cost is set to zero by an effect such as Rescue Board, it cannot be increased by Big Net.

Can I use Forest Seal Stone's "Star Alchemy" Ability if Garbodor's "Garbotoxin" Ability is activated?: Yes, you can. Star Alchemy is not an Ability the Pokemon has, but it's an Ability the Pokemon has access to.
