    You are very confusing with your plurals. There are two separate fireplaces, do they both vent into same chimney/chase and do they have separate flues?

    I agree with illfixit, usually the top and bottom on dv caps is open while the sides are closed or have louvers. Looks like maybe your cap is rotated 90 degrees.

    Check the out pressure while unit is running to confirm that they changed the valve head. If pressure is good, the pilot is not getting enough air. clean pilot thoroughly.

    I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. does the flue pipe come up through a chase cover at the top of chimney, then they connect to a cap? Depending on how the chase is constructed and what...

    what exactly is your problem, there are many reasons for a pellet stove not to light. First thing you should do is thoroughly clean the unit and try again.

    You are correct. The reason it will not work with a bad thermocouple, is the control board doesn't know what the fire is doing, so it sets the "yellow" light and waits for someone to fix it.
