1st>>Goddard E. Filleus is anagram he ued so if his letters to Elizabeth were found by someone else they wouldn't know his identity

2nd>>yeah the entity existed before Redfield but wasn't always like that,probaly it were some sort of primal force (forest spirit or something) that had no complicated intellectual functions or emotions but when Redfield tried to control it & take its power for himself he was killed & fused with the entity creating the shadowy monster we see

After that the entity became dependent on soul within it & for Redfield to escape this eternal prison he needed someone who isn't afraid of the entity while had the will or cause to stay in this world so that his soul would replace his & that's what happened with Jane & then MC/Noah

Also I think that the ancient entity was bound to the forest/land (specifically the clearing) probably by ancient cult member but since it was an open space he could roam freely within & eve go outside for limited distance, The ritual that binds him to the house works by modifiying the orignal binding place from the clearing to the ruins causing his entrapment there but its weak so that if anyone enters the place & agree to help or make a pact with him it will be reverted, Also I think Noah was the one who freed Jane after being imprisoned in chapter 11 or her connecion to her friends was stronger than the ritual or some component of the ritual was specific to Douglas Redfield himself
