Can different groups of rebels, pirates, independent kingdoms, etc. (anyone that is gray) attack one another? Or can they only act against colored factions?

Re: Rebel collectivity
AFAIK the Eleutheroi ARE a faction ... and the engine calls them "slaves", IIRC.
Towards the end of the book, the Moties quote an old story from Herodotus:
"Once there was a thief who was to be executed. As he was taken away he made a bargain with the king: In one year he would teach the king's favorite horse to sing hymns."
"The other prisoners watched the thief singing to the horse and laughed. 'You will not succeed,' they told him. 'No one can.' To which the thief replied, 'I have a year, and who knows what will happen in that time. The king might die. The horse might die. I might die. And perhaps the horse will learn to sing.'"
Re: Rebel collectivity
They are a faction and they aren't. They work differently from all other factions, but in the end are a single entity.
They cannot attack eachother, and if two different groups of 'slaves' are next to eachother, they will reinforce eachother in battle.
