I attack my Opponent's Culf the Quiet with a Niffle Ape, ignoring the Elusive and dealing 3 damage and destroying the Niffle Ape. If I attack Culf the Quiet again with another creature, will Elusive prevent damage for that second fight?

Yes. The elusive keyword resolves while setting the pending damage during a fight (damage exchanged via the creature’s power), which is after the “Before Fight:” ability of Siren Horn resolves.Source: Rulebook
In my battleline I have a creature that has been upgraded with Siren Horn (MM 212) and has 1
on it. My opponent has Boss Zarek (MM 264) and another creature in their battleline. I use my upgraded creature to fight my opponent’s non-elusive creature. I resolve the “Before Fight:” ability granted by Siren Horn and move the 1 to my opponent’s creature. Does the creature gain elusive from Boss Zarek’s ability in time for it to prevent the damage of the fight?
