  Since you know the old and new passphrase, maybe you can bruteforce
it, using passphrases as a guide and looking for characters that could
have been mistyped. I don't know about tools to do it, but there
should be some.

   To generate a revocation certificate you need the private key, so
you need the passphrase. If you have an already generated revocation
certificate, importing it doesn't require passphrase.

   No. If you uploaded your key to keyservers, the only thing you can
do is to ask people that signed that key to revoke the signatures on
it, that way, it would be easier to chose the right key in future (I
mean, once you get a new key, and it gets signed, people will find 2
keys, one signed, and new, and another with revoked signatures, and
older).


   Best Regards
