The one thing that bothers me is that Eris has been hiding from the hive for years. How does she know about Rasputin, if we unleashed him? Wouldn't she have still been hiding? Also, how would she know if Rasputin has never welcomed any one before? Has she been there?

There is WiFi in the Hellmouth.

As an agent of Ikora's Eris would probably be given access to all of that info when she returned to the tower.

It's possible that she learned about Rasputin through the Hive directly, who were present in the Cosmodrome when the Fallen found the first of Rasputin's terminals, and who were present when you activated the Last Array. The Hive especially, being as information-centric and -capable as they are, surely moved to intercept whatever signals were sent over the array after its activation, thus learning of the Warmind, which eventually culminates (for now) with your defense of Rasputin from Omnigul and her minions as they try to "capture" him.

I guess but that whole concept still confuses me. Also, if half her fireteam died before she got to the door of the temple of crota, and then the rest died before they could kill his soul, where did she learn about the hell mouth being the portal to his "realm"? Did she learn that while she was hiding?

The Grimoire card for Rasputin attempts to retcon this, saying that the tower has made attempts to contact Rasputin in the past, and he only recently became active given the opportunity to branch into other systems when you opened the last array in the Cosmodrome.
