I think they already confirmed in the Final Word that he can only shoot from 1 agent, even though he has 2 targets. But he can target 2 figures from that 1 square.
In Contact with Cerebro: If Professor X is in your starting area, he can draw lines of fire and count Range and squares for his Speed, Attack, and Damage powers from the square of any single friendly character with whom he shares a keyword.
Yes. Basically, you pretend that the Professor is sitting in the square of a friendly character.
but if you read his card, it says "speed, attack and damage POWERS". it doesn't say anything about using his combat values. if you can use his combat values it would have been worded like Larfleeze and say "as if he occupied that square". i think it's more like mind controlling a friendly character and using prof x's powers.

If Professor X, who is the one taking the action, is not using his own values whose values is he using?

Except it is not Mind Control.
Please see the Final Word for a more detailed description, but in a nutshell, the ONLY thing the friendly character is used for is a place to count range and draw LOF for Professor X. Everything else (powers, combat values, action tokens, adjacency) is all on Chuck's shoulders.
Here is a great question can Charles pick a charactor to use free action Outwit then select another charactor for a non free action like psychic blast
Sure. There's nothing that says he can't.
Say you have 3 other characters and Professor X on your team. Professor X can outwit a character, drawing line of fire from one character, then later in the turn use psychic blast, drawing line of fire from another character. If that pushed him onto a perplex click, he can then use perplex, drawing a line of fire from a third character.
Or he could use the same character for drawing lines of fire from for all of those powers.

Is this still the case with the newest errata? Sorry, I don't want to be difficult but I want to be sure I am reading this right and playing him correctly. Here is the newest ruling from the Final Word:
Draft Errata
In Contact with Cerebro: If Professor X is in your starting area, he can draw lines of fire and count Range and squares for his Speed, Attack, and Damage powers from the square of any single friendly character with whom he shares a keyword.
I've Learned Your Secrets: Professor X can use Outwit. Once per turn, when he uses Outwit to counter a standard power, he may immediately use Outwit again, but only to counter a power of the same color.
Edit: The underlined parts weren't from me...

Yes, it is still the case. All the errata did was allow you to use perplex and outwit with the 10 square stipulation, not the range. It also pointed out you could not multi-target through two friendlies.
As long as you draw LoF through one friendly at a time, you are fine.

Let's say Professor X has Coordination on him. Does that mean he can ignore characters with the same TA as him between an agent and say, another target?

Harpua has suggested that if Professor X has Coordination and draws a LOF from say Wolverine, Professor X would not be able to use Coordination because the LOF is being drawn from Wolverine, not Professor X.
On the other hand, if Wolverine has Coordination and Professor X draws a LOF from Wolverine, then Professor X would be able to use Wolverine's Coordination because the LOF is being drawn from Wolverine.
Not positive if this is a Final Word or not, but that is where the rules posse is on the issue right now. Click here for the post.
Yes, and he likes to hang out with The Giant Dr. Manhattan. Enhancement. Can attack over other figures through him, and he's there to put up a barrier if someone tries to get too close.
Also, the SI Moleman is fun. Move him to where you need to be. He has stealth when he comes up in his hindering and then you can attack through him.
