indirect object

No, "whomever needs it" in this sentence is a relative pronoun serving as the subject of the dependent clause "whoever needs it." "Mrs. Smith" is the subject of the main clause, and "money for lunch" is the direct object.
The direct object of the verb "will loan" is "money" (the complete direct object is the noun phrase "money for lunch").The indirect object is the noun clause "whomever needs it". However, the pronoun "whomever" is incorrect. Although the noun clause is functioning as an indirect object of the verb, the pronoun is the subject of the clause.The noun clause should read, "whoever needs it".
In the sentence "Mrs. Smith will loan whomever needs it money for lunch," there are three nouns: "Mrs. Smith," "money," and "lunch"; there are two pronouns: "whomever" and "it." The "whomever" should be changed slightly to "whoever," since "whoever" is the subject of the clause "whoever needs it." It is true, certainly, that "whoever needs it" functions as the object of the verb "will loan" and, thus, of the entire sentence; nevertheless the object case marker "-m" need not be added to the word "whoever." (This question perplexed me and my grammar-conscientious 8th-grade history teacher, but I've since figured it out.) If that's not what the question was about, I'm not sure I understand it. If you want to collapse "whoever needs it" into one noun, I suppose you could look for one noun to do that, but it's not necessary.
No
Yes, "before lunch" is a subordinate clause because it does not express a complete thought on its own and is dependent on the main clause "they spoke."
An independent clause can stand on its own as a sentence. A dependent clause contains a subject and verb but cannot be a sentence. In the sentence "I'll stop by your office after I finish my lunch", "I'll stop by your office" is an independent clause, and "after I finish my lunch" is a dependent clause.

The word 'lunch' is both a verb and a noun.The noun 'lunch' functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.Examples:Lunch is ready. (subject of the sentence)The time that lunch is served is very early. (subject of the relative clause)
The form 'Dan and I' is used as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as subject complement after a linking verb (which restates the subject of the sentence).The form 'Dan and me' is used as the object of a verb or a preposition, and as an object complement (which modifies or restates the direct object of the sentence).Examples:Are you going to lunch with Dan and me? (object of the preposition 'with')Dan and I are going to lunch with you. (subject of the sentence)They enjoyed the lunch that Dan and I brought. (subject of the relative clause)They called Dan and me to go to lunch. (direct object of the verb 'called')Their lunch-mates were Dan and I. (subject complement, restates the subject 'lunch-mates')We were their lunch-mates, Dan and me. (object complement, restates the direct object 'lunch-mates')
