Gideon’s Triumph targets the player, not the creature or creatures to be sacrificed. A creature with hexproof may be sacrificed this way.

A creature that was put onto the battlefield attacking didn’t attack, so it can’t be sacrificed.

Controlling more than one planeswalker of the appropriate type won’t have any more of a benefit than just controlling one.

Whether you control an appropriate planeswalker is checked only as the spell resolves.

A creature that attacked and was removed from combat (such as by Spires of Orazca) still attacked, so it can be sacrificed.
