Remember that for a while she was part of Xykon's inner circle. Whether the gods liked her or not, she was their agent in his camp and their best bet to contact redcloak in the same way that Durkon is currently doing in the comic. The problem with that is of course that tsukiko was not raised from the dead, quite the opposite, in fact.

His absence could be explained by the fact that he, well, died during the Battle of Azure City, and the Church did not have the time to officially inaugurate his successor in time.
Note that worshiping the twelve gods as a whole doesn't preclude the gods having individual virtues and vices (and in game terms, domains) associated with them. The individual clerics might all be clerics of the twelve gods, but those that specialize in the domains of a specific god and thus the most suitable representative for them.

Maybe it's a rotating presidency, or maybe one of the gods, as chief deity, bestows upon his high priest the title of high priest of the 12. Or maybe it takes a special council to have a high priest of the 12, and it wasn't possible to name one in the meantime, or will be named at the end of the Godsmoot.
13th seat on council is for horned rat! Yes-yes. But why council only have one skaven-thing? Not good-acceptable! Ready the warpstone!
