If an effect stops a token from attacking a specific player, that token can attack any player, planeswalker, or battle, or not attack at all. If the effect stops the token from attacking a specific player unless a cost is paid, you don't have to pay that cost unless you want to attack that player.

Each token must attack the appropriate player if able.

The tokens copy only what's on the original card. Effects that modified that creature when it was previously on the battlefield won't be copied.
wotc10 Nov 2020
If one of the tokens can't attack for any reason (such as being tapped), then it doesn't attack. If there's a cost associated with having it attack, you aren't forced to pay that cost, so it doesn't have to attack in that case either.
wotc10 Nov 2020
Exiling the card with encore is a cost to activate the ability. Once you announce that you're activating it, no player may take actions until you've finished. They can't try to remove the card from your graveyard to stop you from paying the cost.
wotc10 Nov 2020
Elvish Dreadlord's middle ability affects only creatures on the battlefield that aren't Elves at the time it resolves. Non-Elf creatures that enter the battlefield later in the turn won't get -3/-3.
