If I play Darius, Trifarian as my second card in a turn, does he ready and gain 2 Might?

Yes, this works. Triggers like this are evaluated immediately after the event that takes place, at which point Darius is on the board.

If I play Darius as my third card, does he ready and gain 2 Might?

What if I play another card after him? No. If Darius isn't present immediately after you play your second card, he won't trigger that turn.

What happens if I play Atakhan from my deck with Rek'Sai, Breacher on the board? Can I pay the Accelerate cost and kill Rek'Sai for the Atakhan additional cost? Will it enter ready?

Yes, Atakhan enters ready. Accelerate creates a delayed replacement effect that causes Atakhan to enter ready. Although he lacks the Accelerate keyword when he resolves, he still has the delayed replacement effect that Accelerate generates.
