1.) You may worship any god that has been printed in paizo material?
2.) A cleric may follow any god so long as he has a list of domains, the cleric himself is not evil, and the god is alive correct?
3.) Are there any plans to create more faction specific prestige buy options for some of the newer groups like the shadow lodge, sczarni, or the silver crusade?
4.) Are there anyways to buy temples or build a temple, thieves guild, or other establishment based on those you receive from faction point spending in an area of your choosing like one can with some of the other options?

In a Pathfinder Sanctioned Game, yes.
In someone's home game, it is up to the DM. There may be world/social issues that stop that
2.) A cleric may follow any god so long as he has a list of domains, the cleric himself is not evil, and the god is alive correct?See above. Personally though, a "Neutral" vis-a-vis good and evil for a cleric worshiping an Evil god is only temporary. The Cleric will be evil soon enough
3.) Are there any plans to create more faction specific prestige buy options for some of the newer groups like the shadow lodge, sczarni, or the silver crusade?That should go in product questions
4.) Are there anyways to buy temples or build a temple, thieves guild, or other establishment based on those you receive from faction point spending in an area of your choosing like one can with some of the other options?
That is an in game ting and really up to the player's imagination and how the game is

It sounds as if you are asking specifically for PFSOP (Pathfinder Society Organized Play).. the answers for that are going to sometimes be very different from those for a home game. If so, you should download the Guide to Organized Play and start there (as I believe some of these questions are answered there).

For reference, here is the Additional Resources page which lists everything from non-core books that is legal. Most deities that I'm familiar with are legal, but be sure to check the Additional Resources if there's a specific deity you're interested in.
Also keep in mind that clerics have to be one step away from their deity's alignment (and not evil.) So, for example, you can have a cleric that worships a chaotic evil deity, but the cleric must be chaotic neutral.

Yeah unfortunately the God I was looking for isn't an option which sucks as he is CN and wanted to make a CG cleric. Is there any thread I can hit to ask about when other sources will become legal or suggest if they could?
The campaign leadership generally don't answer these sorts of questions, but you can ask us and we can give you a (fairly) educated guess.

Well I'm looking to run a CG cleric of Azathoth. Problem is I know he's mentioned in iswg but he isn't domained out and what not till wake of the watcher. The whole concept came from a talk about good clerics for the great old ones with james at Gencon and the idea has been rattling around ever since and with PFS finally coming to a place I could play regularly I thought I could finally get to play with my friend instead of just GM'ing.

Your character's worship would fall under the "Old Cults", worshipers of the Great Old Ones. (I doubt they distinguish clearly between the Great Old Ones and the Elder Gods.) That would allow the domains of Chaos, Knowledge, Madness, Rune, and Void. (Reference: Page 51 of Gods and Magic)

The fact that none of the beings from the "Cults of the Dark Tapestry" article in "Wake of the Watcher" were added to the Additional Resources page seems to me to be a pretty clear indication that campaign leadership don't feel they mesh well with Pathfinder Society Organized Play.
James: p. 51 of Gods and Magic is not on the AR list; only the gods listed on the inside front cover are.

Since a priest of Azathoth would probably hide his true allegiance, I'd build him as a cleric of his "cover" religion, making him consistent with the rules for the Old Cults. That way, if they ever change the rules, you could claim that he was secretly a cultist all along...

Well the plan was that he turned to azathoth after a bad experience in the ulihavia (don't know if that's spelled right) pass outside of alkenstar where he was exposed to the great truths of the universe. He barely escapes and spent months hold up in recovery in Alkenstar where he figures out what all this knowledge means to him, that he has been given a gift a connection to the primal powers of the multiverse and that it is his duty to use that destructive force to try to help the world fend off the evils that seek to destroy it. He's also looking for more information on "the cities that float in the sky" that he saw in a lot of his visions and decides that the pathfinder society will be the best way for him to fund his quest for answers and help him strike back at the evils trying to torment his people and waste what little time they have. Once he gets there he soon sides up with the crusade after hearing their platform of fighting evil without alligence to any one country and how they are worried of an impending doom coming to the shores of varisia and are looking for people to aid them.

I don't think that would be necessary since as it's laid out most of the common folk would have no clue what or who azathoth is so there's not much chance of people scrambling pitch forks in horror. As for the ones that do most of those would either be PFS members or scholars really and I think there would be as many interested in meeting a follower as trying to kill him.

That is true but it's kind of the fun of it all, I mean it seems wrong that it would be less damning to be able to play a N cleric of Tremalrex, the horsemen of famine then a CG cleric of azathoth. Now that being said the next issue I've run into is that the void subdomains are also in that book so does that mean that they are not legal either?
