I think 29 is the one about 'buggery or sodomy', which, like everything else, is a hanging offense.
I can SO believe Horatio doing self-punishment. I think he comes across as more complicated in the later movies, where I boggled at him a bit. There's crazy and then there's WTF!Horatio! But it sounds like he is much more so in the books. I think, like you say, Archie is a tempering influence. Certainly a happy one. I noticed when I was watching the Even Chance that the first thing Archie says to Horatio is something like 'Jump! You'll be alright!', and that seems to capture his influence really well.
Edrington aha, yes, he's so calm and collected! He and Pellew have that kind of reserved, kick-your-arse-without-blinking thing, as well as being able to really see what's going on with other people. But Edrington is more refined?
