This would probably deserve its own thread, but anyway...

Q 493
What is the "spell list" of an archivist? Is it all divine spells, or the cleric spell list (from which they can add 2 free spells to the prayerbook at every level)?

The cleric spell list. You can learn and prepare other spells, but they are not on your class spell list.

A) Can an archivist use a spell-trigger item with any divine spell? Or only with cleric spells?

Only with cleric spells.

B) What effect exactly has a class feature that adds to the class list for an archivist? Could they at least pick the spell among the 2 free cleric spells at a new level?

Generally, if an effect grants you an additional spell known without specifying what list to pull it from, you use your class's normal rules for learning spells. In the case of the archivist, that's cleric spells only, except when copying scrolls. However, a given feature may work differently, so make sure you refer to the specific text of the ability.

C) What does an archivist gain exactly out of a bonus domain from a prestige class (see "Extra Domains" on Complete Divine)?

It depends on the source of the domain; almost every class that grants a domain has its own rules for how to apply it to non-clerics. In the case of the classes from Complete Divine, archivists are non-clerics who use a spellbook, so they use the rules listed for wizards on page 20.
