1. Can the following items be enchanted:
Adamantine Breastplate, Dwarven Plate, Dragonhide Plate, Elven Chain, Mithral Shirt, Darkwood Buckler, Darkwood Shield, Mithral Heavy Shield
I think they should be able to be enchanted, since they're not magical and it's the material they're made of that gives them their properties.
2. Why does a Bag of Holding have its normal weight even when empty? Shouldn't it be the lesser of 1/2 lb (the weight of a sack) plus contents or its max weight?
3. Can a Wight use its energy drain in a grapple? I think it should be able to, but only if it chooses to do damage as its grappling action.

1- The only requirement I can see for enchanting an item with magic is that it is masterwork. All of those items above are considered masterwork. They are also nonmagical, as described on the aura line on the description.
If you want to make other items out of things like Adamantium, mithril, dragonhide, etc, the rules for crafting such an item are near the end of chapter 6. After made they could be enchanted.
2- maybe because that is how much the bag + the nondimensional space inside of it weighs? You don't ever feel the weight of what is inside the bag... you just feel the weight of the bag and the magic that was used to enchant it. *shrug*
It's a bit like asking why putting a bag of holding inside a portable hole opens up a dimensional rift to the astral plane. It just does. Probably something Gary or Dave made up, and they aren't around anymore to explain it. =p
3- According to energy drain, Energy Drain happens automatically on a successful melee or ranged attack hits. Simply being in contact with a Wight does not incur energy drain.
If a wight is being grappled, and it makes a successful grapple check, it can make an attack against you, provided that attack only requires the use of one hand. Their normal attack is a slam attack, and as near as I can tell that's a one handed attack... but then I'm not positive about that. Slam seems to be a really vague description of an attack, but whatever.
