2a. If a player draws a Hill as the last tile is he allowed to place it without putting a tile under it?Yes, a hill tile is allowed to place it as the last tile. The normal turn takes place (move wood and score finished features).2b. Or, does not having a tile under it bar him from placing the tile?No, the hill tile can be placed without a tile under it.

I assume it still works, but that's not clear from his answer.

How about a Follower brought in from the City of Carcassonne at game end? Can't the player choose the tile of the feature, or does it go beside an existing Follower?

And the tie breaker works only if the follower belongs to that feature (here city).

This is good for player B if player A has least points and player C could go first if C gets the points for the city.
For the last turn of the game there is no more chance to connect, only for a follower from the City of Carcassonne.
