"Lunar" magic will be covered in ILH-2. It is currently undergoing revision (though specifics are under NDA, so can't be discussed).
But to answer your question for the rules *as they are currently written*:
> 1. Can you use your retained common magic as an active ability, or only as
> an augment?
Only as an augment (ie, just like "normal" common magic).
Page 113 box: "In either case the specified magic (either a specialized religion *or* common magic) gains the benefit of concentration but the "retained" magic does not."
Using common magic as an active ability is a benefit of concentration.
>Does it make a difference if your common magic is directly from
> your pantheon (IE could a Yanafal Tarnils initiate use his Seven Mothers
> common magic actively, or only passively?)
No difference. You have to give up all "non-lunar magic of any source", so *all* your common magic will be "Lunar" by default (any magic listed as "subject to the Lunar Cycles" is "Lunar" for these purposes).
> 2. Does anything change if you become a Devotee (ie do you have to then
give
> up even your Lunar common magic)?
Yes, just like a normal Devotee.
