So I want to make a Inquisitor called El Tigre who feeds his tigers the blood of Heretics.
I noticed two archetypes that appear to stack:
Sacred Huntmaster: https://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/inquisitor/archetypes/inquisi tor-archetypes-paizo/sacred-huntsmaster/
Ravener Hunter: https://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/inquisitor/archetypes/inquisi tor-archetypes-paizo/ravener-hunter-inquisitor/
Lunar Mystery gives you an animal companion with some restrictions, so now on to the questions.
1. Do the Archetypes stack? They mess with solo tactics, but I'm not sure that change is enough. Not familiar with how delayed features stack.
2. Do the Companions stack? I'm pretty sure if the features were exact copies they would not, but its a hunter companion and a restricted druid so I'm not sure.
3. Does the Druid Companion benefit from my teamwork feats?

Archetype Stacking and Altering: What exactly counts as altering a class feature for the purpose of stacking archetypes?
In general, if a class feature grants multiple subfeatures, it’s OK to take two archetypes that only change two separate subfeatures. This includes two bard archetypes that alter or replace different bardic performances (even though bardic performance is technically a single class feature) or two fighter archetypes that replace the weapon training gained at different levels (sometimes referred to as “weapon training I, II, III, or IV”) even though those all fall under the class feature weapon training. However, if something alters the way the parent class feature works, such as a mime archetype that makes all bardic performances completely silent, with only visual components instead of auditory, you can’t take that archetype with an archetype that alters or replaces any of the sub-features. This even applies for something as small as adding 1 extra round of bardic performance each day, adding an additional bonus feat to the list of bonus feats you can select, or adding an additional class skill to the class. As always, individual GMs should feel free to houserule to allow small overlaps on a case by case basis, but the underlying rule exists due to the unpredictability of combining these changes.
They would not stack.

Archetypes do not stack if they alter the same ability in any way shape or form. Since both of the archetypes alter solo tactics they do not stack.
The sacred huntmaster’s animal companion functions as a hunter’s animal companion which specifically states if a hunter receives an animal companion from more than one source the levels stack.
