So my main question:
Who is performing the Villainous Attack?
Page 34 says A “villainous attack” is what the Master does with its
combat. Follow the rules for the Master on page 13. So if my wife and I are both nearby to the Master then does he draw 2 cards and then deal extra damage? Or did I completely botch it. While trying to wrap my head around it, I'm inclined to think that I should have drawn one card, and let's say a Spark was drawn off the Market Deck, then dealt 1 damage to her? If I have a death Cultist in front of me, do I tap it and attack with it also? Do I have to play any and all damage in my hand to go after her this turn?
How should Temporary Insanity be resolved?

How should Temporary Insanity be resolved?
Thematically, I believe you (the active player) have become temporarily insane. Due to this, you attack each nearby player.
To resolve the attack, you draw the top card of the Market Deck and use it's Cost as the Attack value you make. So, for example, if you draw the Elven Curse card from the Market Deck, you attack the nearby player with an Attack of 3. As usual, your Champions (if any) will defend this attack. The card drawn is then placed in the Sacrifice pile.
Since you are only playing two player, the seating will be something like this.
Player 1 - Player 2 - Master - (loops back to Player 1)
So for both Player 1 and Player 2, there will at most be only one "nearby player". This means that at most there will be only a single card drawn from the Market Deck and only one Attack made.
If you are playing solo or if the nearby player is blocked off, then I believe you Attack yourself. You draw the top card of the Markey Deck and apply that as above (but this time you attack yourself).
Rules are not clear but I believe that's what happens.

The Master seemed to level up quickly. Am I correct that in a two player game a Mastery card will come up inside the first 3 cards drawn and the second three drawn? He seemed to level up quickly and then with the Master drawing 2 cards each turn, he cycled through his deck quickly. And I botched NOT leaving the Mastery cards attached once the deck reshuffled (which probably helped a little).
Yes, that seems correct.
The first mastery card will be in cards 1 to 3
The second mastery card will be in cards 4 to 6
The third mastery card will be in cards 7 to 12 (or 13 in Encounter 3)
