"The Rev. and Mrs. (his first and last name)" would be the correct way to address an envelope to a pastor and his wife.
Rabbi and Mrs.
You may address then as Rabbi, or just use their name; both are acceptable.
I believe the correct form of address is Reb, but you could also use the respectful term, sir.
You call BOTH of them "Rabbi".
If you are referring to a specific rabbi using a proper noun/title, yes— in the same way you would use “Reverend” or “Father” as a title. If you are using the word as an improper noun, then no. It is like the words “doctor“ and “professor” in this way. Examples: I met Rabbi Goldbloom‘s husband yesterday. Her husband is also a rabbi. Talk to your rabbi about that issue. My rabbi— whose name is Rabbi Diamond— is of a different sect. Did you try the gefilte-fish, Rabbi? Credentials: native American English speaker, and a Jew :)
A priest in Hebrew is "cohen". So people named Cohen are descended from Jewish priests. A Cohen / Kohen is specifically a Jewish Priest ascended from Aaron.
Not if used in general, as in "I spoke with the rabbi." But it is capitalized when used with a proper name, as in "Rabbi Elias was in attendance." When referring to a rabbi in writing, on first reference, capitalize before a name. On second reference use only the last name.

Originally, it was a rabbi, a rabbi, and a rabbi walk into a bar. . .
Rabbis. Here are a few examples from the Talmud. Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakkai, Rabbi Yonatan ben Uziel, Chanina ben Dosa, Bava ben Buta, Shimon ben Hillel, Rabbi Eliezer, Rabbi Yehoshua, Rabbi Yossi haKohen, Rabbi Shimon ben Netanel, Rabbi Elazar ben Arakh, Rabbi Yochanan ben Nuri, Rabbi Akiva, Rabbi Nechuniah, Rabbi Nachum Gamzu, Rabbi Yossi Glili, Rabbi Honi Me'agel, Rabbi Abba Shaul, and hundreds of others.
