If you do it in that order, no. When an instruction creates a continuous effect that modifies the characteristics of objects (or the controller of objects), the set of objects affected is determined and locked in when the effect is first applied. (CR 611.2c)
This is in contrast to continuous effects that do something else (i.e., change a rule), or the effects of static abilities, which are reinterpreted without reference to time.
With Honored Crop-Captain, the same principle applies. You have to arrange the Summoner to create the tokens before Honored Crop-Captain's ability resolves. You simply have to state that you so arrange them after they trigger.
No, because the power/toughness boost of the Trial comes from a resolving spell or ability (its ETB trigger), and since that is a change in characteristics, it locks in on the objects it affects when it resolves. Permanents that enter the battlefield after that point won't be affected.
Note, that the Summoner has a triggered ability, you don't activate those. This particular one allows you a payment during its resolution to gain some benefit. But that doesn't make it an activated abilty, it's still a trigger.
