1. The second type of knowledge referred to in this hadith is the knowledge acquired by Abu Huraira (radiyallaahu anhu) regarding the names of the tyrant rulers to come after the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam). He feared his life in disclosing information of these tyrant rulers, for they would of killed him. Therefore, he did not disclose this knowledge to anyone. This knowledge is not possessed by the Sufis. (Fath Al-Bari, Baabu Hifzil Al-Ilm, vol 1, pg 261, Dar Al-Rayyaan)
2. Both interpretations are correct. However, the second interpretation is preferred i.e ‘Noor’ refers to Rasulullah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) and ‘Kitaabum Mubeen’ refers to the Quran. (Tafseer Al-Razi, Sura Maidah 15, vol 6, pg 194, Dar Al-Fikr)
3. The verse that appears in Sura Baqarah refers to a woman that was issued three talaaqs by her husband. Regarding her matter, the Quran mentions that she would have to marry another man before considering marriage with her former husband. Fatwa no 16198 is referring to a woman that was issued one talaaq. Therefore, there is no contradiction between the verse and the fatwa no 16198.
وحمل العلماء الوعاء الذي لم يبثه على الأحاديث التي فيها تبيين أسامي أمراء السوء وأحوالهم وزمنهم ، وقد كان أبو هريرة يكني عن بعضه ولا يصرح به خوفا على نفسه (فتح الباري)
ثم قال تعالى : { قَدْ جَاءكُمْ مّنَ الله نُورٌ وكتاب مُّبِينٌ } وفيه أقوال : الأول : أن المراد بالنور محمد ، وبالكتاب القرآن ، والثاني : أن المراد بالنور الإسلام ، وبالكتاب القرآن . الثالث : النور/ والكتاب هو القرآن ، وهذا ضعيف لأن العطف يوجب المغايرة بين المعطوف والمعطوف عليه (تفسير الرازي)
