1. I have a ravenous chupacabra enchanted with smoke shroud, attack with ravenous c... it goes unblocked. Ninjutsu in fallen shinobi. Smoke shroud on r.c goes to the graveyard. Can I attack the smoke shroud to fallen shinobi, so it's attacking as a 6/5?
3. Opponent has a meddling mage in play naming Fallen Shinobi. Can I still use ninjutsu of fallen shinobi to put it into the battlefield. Does ninjutsu bypass the ability of meddling mage?
4. Deal damage to an opponent with ink-eyes servant of oni. Opponent has meddling mage in their graveyard. I choose to return the mage to play under my control with ink eyes ability. Can I name a card with the mage?
5. Does smoke shroud work with changelings? For example I have two smoke shroud in the graveyard. Cast a changeling outcast. Can I enchant it with the two smoke shroud from the yard?
6. if I have both ninja of the deep hours and ingenious infiltrator on my side of the battlefield. Deal damage to opponent with deep hours. Do I draw two cards?
1. Smoke Shroud's last ability works only while Smoke Shroud is in the graveyard (C.R. 112.16k). If Smoke Shroud is already on the battlefield while a Ninja enters the battlefield, its last ability won't trigger.
2. You can still bring a creature card onto the battlefield attacking, regardless of Ensnaring Bridge's effect; Ensnaring Bridge checks the power of creatures against the number of cards in its controller's hand only as attackers are declared, and not at any other time (C.R. 109.5, 508.1c, 508.4). See also this thread.
3. Meddling Mage now says "Spells with the chosen name can't be cast" (C.R. 108.1), but activating a card's ninjutsu ability (C.R. 702.48a) is not the same as casting a spell (review C.R. 701.4, 602.2), so Meddling Mage doesn't affect that. See also this thread.
4. You choose a card name for Meddling Mage as Meddling Mage enters the battlefield under your control, no matter how it does so.
5. For the purposes of Smoke Shroud's last ability, a "Ninja" is a permanent with that creature type, even if it isn't normally a Ninja (C.R. 109.2, 613.1d, 613.4). This includes a creature with changeling, since it has all creature types including Ninja (C.R. 205.3m, 702.72a).
6. In this scenario, the last abilities of both Ingenious Infiltrator and Ninja of the Deep Hours will trigger (C.R. 603.2).

Yes. After activating the Ninjutsu ability, the aura goes to the graveyard (paying the cost of returning the Chupacabra to your hand makes the aura not be attached to anything and thus it will be put into the graveyard right afterwards as a state based action). So it is in the graveyard when the Ninjutsu ability eventually resolves (unless someone removes it in the time between, which is possible), and can trigger to return attached to the entering ninja.
Yes. The Bridge only applies to attacker declaration during the turn based action of the declare attackers step, it has no effect at any other time in the game. The ninja enters attacking, it is not declared attacking.
3. Opponent has a meddling mage in play naming Fallen Shinobi. Can I still use ninjutsu of fallen shinobi to put it into the battlefield. Does ninjutsu bypass the ability of meddling mage?
Ninjutsu is an activated ability. Playing a card means to play it if it is a land or to cast it as a spell if it's not a land. with Ninjutsu you are doing neither, so the Mage's restriction doesn't stop the ability.
EDIT: Looked up the Mage's oracle text, and it is now only the later part (casting spells) anyway.
4. Deal damage to an opponent with ink-eyes servant of oni. Opponent has meddling mage in their graveyard. I choose to return the mage to play under my control with ink eyes ability. Can I name a card with the mage?
Yes. The card enters the battlefield, and the Mage's own replacement effect replaces that event. It doesn't matter from where the Mage enters or how.
5. Does smoke shroud work with changelings? For example I have two smoke shroud in the graveyard. Cast a changeling outcast. Can I enchant it with the two smoke shroud from the yard?
Yes. Changelings are ninjas in every zone and even outside the game, because changeling is a characteristic defining ability. So if a changeling enters the battlefield, a ninja enters and the shroud triggers.
6. if I have both ninja of the deep hours and ingenious infiltrator on my side of the battlefield. Deal damage to opponent with deep hours. Do I draw two cards?
Both trigger and each trigger lets you draw a card, yes.
But I need clarification on question 1. Because your answers seem different there.
Both are correct, but peteroupc's answer doesn't account for the aura being in the graveyard at the time the ninja enters, which it is in your scenario.

2. Opponent has ensnaring bridge and one card in hand. I attack with faerie seer. Seer is unblocked. Can I ninjutsu a ninja of the deep hours, even if my opponent has bridge and one card hand?
