At least a minority would have to be "It looks easy on the trids, I've got my silver cross, my wooden stakes and garlic - that's good enough, right?" - not realising that they're imitation silver, plaswood and soy, respectively.

The Guild, as I envision it (and, to be honest, I was hoping to see more reactions than just one person's before doing much with it), is mostly a mutual support network and not some formal organization of vampire hunters. As such, the membership's going to vary considerably in terms of skill and ability. If it were a formal organization, there'd be formal standards for admission, and for the most part, there really aren't. That's why it's a loose band at the moment.
This is not to say that de Vries doesn't have a smaller, better-trained cadre that he himself calls on for help, since I think he does. A Guild within a Guild, as it were. That might be a much more formidable organization, I'd think.
Dunno. Have to see how it shakes out.

The vast superiority of most type 1 infected over the population makes me think they'd have to be group-fighters or something, drilled to work as a team. The good ones, anyway.
Depends on the hunter and what kind of augmentations, adept powers, or what-have-you, said hunter possesses. Also, training.
But as you point out, teamwork is the best approach to this sorta thing.
