And here's something else I'd like to figure out: how to make the AI ignore the threat from the player? So that it behaves as usual, but isn't afraid to sail past with small armies?

Yes, here's another question: if I place a hero on one island, and he needs to get to another, and a ship is standing in the harbor on his way ----> If I give him MoveHero, will he board the ship and sail, or will it display "cannot reach the coordinate point"? I'm asking in advance so I don't have to redo it later.

The first thing that comes to mind is to give him some fictional unit with an extremely high threat level, so he'll think he's stronger. Or is the point that he shouldn't attack yet?

You can assign him some routes using MoveHero, along which he will move, regardless of the player's heroes.

Another option. At the beginning of the AI's turn, place special static objects without a model around the player's hero, but with a blocked cell. For the AI, the hero will be unreachable (and vice versa), and he will probably ignore the player's hero. At the beginning of the player's turn, remove the statics. You can also place these cells depending on the ratio of army strength (if needed, I have a table of creature strengths).
This method is not as difficult as it might seem at first.

I don't know how relevant my answer will be, but I'll answer anyway. Yes, the hero will get on a ship and sail away.

Well, I need it so that for AI heroes, attacking them is a kind of surprise. Merchants are sailing along, and then – bam, an attack. Moreover, I can easily resurrect these heroes and give them an army using a script.

Make them allies, and then, upon contact, run a script that makes them enemies, and the battle begins. I don't know how well it will perform, but in terms of background, this option should be good...

Does anyone know if it's possible to pass (create) a special Faeidan spell through battle scripts?

Partially, only the damage will always be 100%.

Well, that's okay. I just can't download the manual right now, and I don't remember half of the features.

Is there a function to check if there are archers in the hero's army? Or do I have to manually check the creature types?
And then, how does it work? Do you get an array of enemy creatures and then order them to shoot at the first one in the array? But what about skipping a turn after the shot? They (Archers) will be sent to the end of the action queue after that. Is there a way to let them shoot without affecting the turn order?

To identify the targets, you need to check their type.
If you follow Faelan's specialization, you should start by iterating through all enemies, finding the creature with the lowest level, and then attacking it.
And in ATB, there's no way to restore the previous position.

What if you fire at the first unit from an array? How is the array created after getCreatures? Does it have its own sorting? Or at least, what system does it use to number the creatures in the enemy army?
