So to make sure I understand the ruling correctly: If Ahimaaz is banded in to battle, I can play an enhancement on a Hero still in battle, but if he's the only Hero in battle, then I cannot play an enhancement? (And the drawing happens in either case?)

That is correct.

Warrior's Spear on Spy does "activate" in battle it just ends up in the territory before it is carried out.

This example, I think, is getting lost in the discussion.  Horses entered battle, and therefore activated in battle, and therefore were played in battle.  I don't think it should matter where Ahimaaz is after his ability ends; he played horses in battle, and it works.

Here's how we've defined "play" in the REG.

Quote from: REG
Play
A card is considered “played” if it meets these criteria:
  • You play an enhancement by attempting to activate its special ability (or numbers
    in battle)
  • You play a character or multicolor site by putting it in your territory or your side
    of the battle.
  • You play any other card type by putting it face up on the playing surface from
    hand, deck, or discard pile due to your special ability or game action, except
    when you discard a card from hand.
Note: Play can be a special ability, but is more broadly a game action. A special ability is
only considered a play ability when it contains the word play, and is not referring to the
Field of Play. Any other action or ability that results in a card being played is not a play
ability, but is an example of a play game action. For example, "You may play an
enhancement" is a play ability, while "You may band a Hero into battle from hand" is not
a play ability, since it does not contain the word play, even though the character banded
from hand is considered to have been played by the player who used the ability.

I still believe that the special ability of Warriors Spear (on Spy) or Horses (on Ahimaaz) is activating in territory which is where the character and weapon are when the special ability is carried out.
