Instance 1: unless you called the ball off the other one, he's right. I've never played a bar game where 'fluke' shots were allowed.
Instance 2: not sure what you mean, but I've always played that a sunk ball scratch (teeheehee) is you can move the ball anywhere behind the line, but must shoot forward.
Instance 3: If he intentionally tried to 'hook' you, meaning he deliberately made the balls lie so you couldn't hit the 8, then you don't have to worry about scratching. If he didn't do it on purpose, and you don't hit the 8 first, game over.
Thats my interpretation. Others may play different.
