I would say no to the first, and yes to the second.
Healing cards may be activated on any character in play (e.g., territory) of matching brigade color. They may target any card being discarded or subject to a poison or disease special ability, regardless of brigade color. The healing effect is instant, not delayed. You can play a healing enhancement at any time to restore a character sent to the discard pile at any previous time during the turn (e.g., Draw Phase or Preparation Phase). The discarded character may come from battle, a territory, a set-aside area, or from a draw pile (e.g., Confusion). Cards being discarded can be healed on the way to the discard pile. Cards being discarded from anywhere may be healed at any point during that turn. Characters discarded on a previous turn cannot be healed. A healed card is immediately placed in the owner’s territory; they retain all their abilities.

Yes (hero of matching brigade to play healing card on is in territory (play), and the targeted hero was discarded from set aside)2. No (a hero to play the healing card on must be in play, according to this quote)

It does not. That phrase only demonstrates that the Enhancement does not need to be played in battle. Artifacts already do not need to be played in battle, so that clarification is not necessary for them.
I am also unsure as to whether Haman's ability causes the heroes to be discarded directly from set-aside or whether they come back to territory first and then are discarded. If the latter, then I Am Healing would work, correct? So which is it?
I am Healing doesn't have a play as, but based on the way I have seen it played in the past I wouldn't be surprised if we currently treat it as if it had the play as "Holder may heal all of holders Heroes. May be used twice." rather than playing it as it is currently worded.
Hey,Quote from: BubbleBoy on June 06, 2009, 05:18:38 PMI am also unsure as to whether Haman's ability causes the heroes to be discarded directly from set-aside or whether they come back to territory first and then are discarded. If the latter, then I Am Healing would work, correct? So which is it?I think Haman is missing an "instead." The "discard hero" at the end of his ability should be worded as an instead of bringing him back from the set-aside area. So the hero is discarded from the set-aside area not from the territory.You can play a healing enhancement on Eli the Priest to heal him from being discarded from the set-aside area. Similarly you can play a healing enhancement on a character in your territory to heal Eli the Priest from being discarded from the set-aside area. But both of these are only the case if Eli the Priest is a valid target for the healing enhancement in question. For example, if you were trying to play Bread of Life on Aaron in your territory to heal Eli the Priest it wouldn't work because Eli the priest is not a green brigade hero and thus he isn't a valid target for that healing enhancement.As worded, Eli the Priest is not a valid target for I am Healing because he is not "in play."I am Healing doesn't have a play as, but based on the way I have seen it played in the past I wouldn't be surprised if we currently treat it as if it had the play as "Holder may heal all of holder’s Heroes. May be used twice." rather than playing it as it is currently worded.Tschow,Tim "Sir Nobody" Maly
