Which is right to say: "It is a coward who dare not recognize the Lord's name in front of others" or "He is a coward who dare not …"?
He is a coward... is the right one since you have used "who", the subject is supposed to be "he". Only if you have used "which" then the subject becomes "it"

Is it grammatically right to omit "whether" in this sentence: They will follow you no matter you feed them or not? Why so?
Omitting "whether" in this sentence is fine as you have already written "no matter." No matter is itself used for an "if" situation.
