According to the artist, these are some of the nameless shrine maidens that Zun has drawn in the past plus Reimu.

Soo these shrine maidens were from the Hakkurei line before Reimu, and that helped on the Border a long time ago?

Canonically, no, these are just random shrine maidens that ZUN has drawn, they're not related to Touhou, or at the very least not directly related to Reimu. This is just a "what if they were Hakurei maidens" thing the artist did.

Oh, ok... I guess that even if someone’s last name sounds familiar, it’s doesn’t mean they’re related at all?
Loosk like the same couple from post #2963114

Meanwhile Ghostie is just glad to find more people who can actually touch her.
There's no way to tell if it's Skullshatterer or "Skullshatterer" under the mask.

To this day, I still don't understand the whole plot point of that thing. Like why would you start killing the very people you know who are trying to fix the situation? The concept of Arknights is cool, but I'm a little meh on the story so far.

Then you weren't paying that much attention. Not everyone trusts Rhodes Island, and a lot of infected think they're just as bad as everyone else because they don't side with Reunion against the non-infected.
Misha already wasn't very trusting of RI, and it's easy to say, "We're the good guys, we're trying to help." but that doesn't mean what you're doing is actually changing anything. For someone like Misha, whose family was torn apart because of the infection, and has lived miserably since, it's hard to see how RI is really helping anything, when the infection is still spreading and infected are still being treated like garbage. When she gets abducted by Reunion, not only is she reunited with the brother she had watched be dragged away by an angry mob, but all she saw were normal, suffering people, who had been abused and driven away from their homes, all because they had contracted a disease that normally doesn't even transfer between living people. And these people were fighting back, they were passionate and united. With the death of her brother at the hands of RI shortly after, Misha came to the conclusion that these poor people needed a symbol to follow, Skullshatterer was that symbol, and she had never been convinced that RI was any better for the infected than Reunion was. From her perspective, she chose the side that needed her more, and took on her brother's will.

To add onto that, I'd also add that she was likely manipulated into it by W, who goaded her brother into launching an assault that W probably knew would just end in his death. I would also wager that W set that chain of events into motion knowing full and well that Misha would also be killed as a result. All to get something out of the Doctor or Amiya. Reunion... is not exactly the most unified organization.
