Under US laws, all copyright claims under federal copyright must be made in US district court.
You would sue for a declaratory judgment that the work did not meet the federal criteria for an enforceable copyright, once you have standing to sue (i.e., someone has threatened to sue you for copyright infringement of an invalid copyright).

Yes, in theory, as long as the questions, or at least their ordering and selection, have some "creative" aspect that is your own inspired contribution to the world.

Can you publish popular riddles as a public domain work?
If the riddles can be traced to a protected source, they would need to be licensed. If they are entirely your own work, or are sufficiently old enough that they are no longer protected, you can publish the compilation as your own work. Oddly, because copyright protection is automatic, there's no codified way to publish works into the public domain. You may replace the customary copyright notice with a statement explaining your wish not to assert copyright in the work, or you may find it easier to publish under Creative Commons.

Can one document have two copyrights?
Absolutely. A book that includes existing material will have one copyright for the new stuff, and have to license the old stuff. For example, an anthology of short stories would have many copyright holders--one or more for each story, plus one or more for an introduction, editorial material, and so on. A novel can have one rightsholder for the original content, one for the translation, one for some song lyrics that were quoted, and more. A textbook on photography or contemporary art would need a license for each image. What this means for the user is that you might end up needing permission from a whole bunch of people just to copy what seems like one thing, because behind the scenes, it's a whole bunch of things.
