There are three major schools of Latin pronunciation.
The traditional English method, which pronounces Latin words using English letter values (now mostly heard in legal contexts). Latin 'v' equals English 'v'.
The Church, or Ecclesiastical, method, which pronounces Latin words using Italian letter values. This is the pronunciation traditionally used by the Catholic Church, and also by choirs (religious or not) singing Latin. Latin 'v' equals English 'v' here too.
The Restored Pronunciation, which seeks to recover the Classical pronunciation of Caesar and Cicero (first century B.C.). Here, Latin 'v' equals English 'w'.

How do you pronounce modern Hebrew without vowels?
I think what you mean is, "how do you read Modern Hebrew without vowels". (You can't pronounce any words without vowels).Hebrew is a consonant-based language, just like all Semitic languages. The words are fairly easy to read without vowels, because there are only a limited number of patterns that form words. When a Hebrew reader sees a word in context, they mentally supply the vowels without even realizing it.It can be done in English too, though not as easily, since English is not a consonant-based language.For example:Rchrd cn rd Hbrw wtht vwls.

Was the name Jehovah actually an invented word because the Hebrew name of God is YHVH and the vowels were added because there was no known way to pronounce YHVH since Hebrew lacks vowels?
That is basically correct, but over-simplified. Hebrew, including the printed Bible, has vowels; but the handwritten parchment scrolls do not. The vowels of that particular word are no longer known; and E A and O (Hebrew vowels) were inserted by Jewish tradition in order to remind the reader to pronounce the word as if it were written "Adonai," since we never attempt to pronounce God's actual name. Early Christian monks learning Hebrew didn't understand this custom.

When two vowels (unaccented and accented) create a diphthong how should you pronounce that diphthong (or combination of vowels)?
When two vowels create a diphthong, they should be pronounced as a single sound that glides smoothly from one vowel to the other within the same syllable. This results in a unique sound that is a combination of the two vowels.
