He asked: "Do abilities (e.g. Witch-King, Khamul, They Ride Together, Black Horse, Uvatha) which allow the play of RW followers override Carn Dum, or is my most recent Bag End mission deck completely stuffed?"

These abilities do override Carn Dum, but since the Bag End mission is so slow, your deck is probably stuffed anyway.
I'm not sure. Text of card A can override general rules but it cannot override text of card B unless it makes direct reference to B.
E.g. A Chance Meeting makes direct reference to the Hobbits so it can override Hobbits limitations.
We will not speak of such things even in the morning of the Shire.
