The Darkhallow sucks in all the life around it as a side effect of apotheosis. Imagine Harry using it on Halloween on Demonreach (using Alfred as his drummer) and having Alfred loose all the sleepers an instant before the finish. Harry gets god-level power and the sleepers are all killed irrevocably. (cuz Halloween). It stops any escapee problem and uber-Harry can then head over to the Gates and turn the tide there.

I don't think most of the creatures in the Well are subject to a Darkhallow ritual.
Probably some of them are, though: I suspect the Naagloshi of being susceptible (for example).
Conspiracy Theorist:
You are what you eat, Harry would need to use the Blackstaff.
Otherwise those Eldritch horrors go right through you. And they don’t taste like chicken.
The prisoners in stasis would be protected from the Darkhallow, however Harry can selectively release them or part of them at will, actually subject to his will. He could set them on the Outsiders and eat the winner.

Correct, the Darkhallow would use ghosts like the one Cowl tried. The Sleepers would be killed because they'd get sucked in in the aftermath and it's Halloween so the immortals can be killed then.

Again, the Darkhallow summons ghosts and that's what the user consumes. The Sleepers die in the aftermath where they are sucked into the vacuum caused by it.

I don't think most of them would be subject to "psychic vacuum" of the ghosts being eaten.
Mortals are relatively-weak, with little in the way of defenses; not so the entities in the Well.
