How Harry would do the Dark Hallow in Changes wag

Not trying and not Able are wildly different. He (and kringle, who might have actually been the one leading the hunt) NEEDED Harry to take it over, which is the whole reason they threw the fight; "redirecting or stopping the hunt" would have buggered that up entirely and negated the whole point of the subterfuge.
Of course he was going to Hunt on Halloween if summoned to the Mortal World. By the sound of CD he does that every year. But being summoned doesnt force him to suddenly become a BAD Hunter, which this would be by his own definition.

The only possible reason they would need Harry to take over the hunt is if they were unable to go after the Outsiders on their own initiative.
Erlking was quite a good hunter in DB, he clearly knew something was going on because he knew Harry raised Sue, but he neither stopped the hunt nor left Chicago.
If he was simply not concerned by the darkhallow because it was only going to kill his entire hunting party but not him, that would make him a terrible Hunter. Again, this leads us to there was nothing he could do.
Or, alternatively, maybe he was doing something. Maybe he was chasing one of the other necromancers so Harry could stop Cowl.

Indeed, which I believe is exactly what was happening. They told harry that “You are the leader of the Hunt. What you wright with your power will grace each of us." and then just after that Harry was able to shake the Psychic Attack of a Walker which freed them all from it at the same time, after which the Erlking gave him credit by shouting “Well-done, starborn!” Which I take to indicate that Starborn is the same "outsider power" Lash was talking about, and that the hunt could not safety Face off against an Outsider without a Starborn in Charge of the hunt and thus sharing the aegis of his protection. Potential protection I should say, as it was not easy or automatic.

I wonder if the other members of the hunt took on any of Harry's "Starborn" power over outsiders-ness?

I suspect so, though aside from the resistance above I couldnt say what they might be.
I wonder if Harry can now Summon the Hunt on his own, having successfully Led it in the past.

I got the impression that once you were a leader of the hunt, you could. It's just that the EK is the one who is known to do it all the time.
