If a unit stands on the large 8x5 box and targets a unit on a smaller box (like 3x2), does the attacking unit gain +1 range?
Yes
Elevation refers to the physical height of the map boxes. The large 8x5 Evergreen Forest map box is of a higher elevation than the other smaller boxes on the ground (3x2, 5x4 and 2x2), so targeting units, which are at a lower physical height, increases the attacking unit's range by 1.
When the solo enemy unit moves with the Climb card, does it try to move from a smaller to a larger (8x5) map box?
Yes
Elevation refers to the physical height of the map boxes. The large 8x5 Evergreen Forest map box is of a higher elevation than the other smaller boxes on the ground (3x2, 5x4 and 2x2), so the solo enemy unit would try to Climb on the 8x5 box if it is on the 3x2 box, for example.

However, Lorewynn's Conjure Birds deals damage to all TARGETS in range (of its spell attack), therefore she deals damage to all enemy units on the realm map when she is on a peak.

When determining range, does the target enemy have to be reachable in a straight line from the attacking unit?
No

Can I target an enemy unit with a Missile or Spell Attack, if the attack would go through another unit or a map box?
