this guy in hard mode, is he capable of dropping elite tomes?

Ill say no, if its anything like NF. Elite tomes wont drop till mainland

edit: I swore I saw it someplace that elite tomes/tomes couldnt drop till mainland of NF. Maybe was thinking of something else

yes, all bosses are

yes all bosses can (and I smell a farm build... zone in, kill, zone out via portal, repeat).

I'm pretty sure all hm bosses can drop elite tomes

Allegedly even beginner area bosses can drop elite tomes, but I've never got an elite tome from a boss who didn't have an elite skill (ie no boss on Shing Jea, no boss before Crystal Desert in Tyria, and no boss before the Elonian mainland).

If indeed it is possible for them to drop elite tomes, the drop rate is very, very, low.

I've gotten elite tome drops in Old Ascalon before (though because of my bad luck, I only get like 1), so it's not that monsters that don't have elites don't drop elite tomes.

I think it's all bosses can drop elite tomes, regardless of whether they have an elite or not. The wiki article doesn't make any special note on exceptions either.

yes he probably can
i used to farm a monk boss in that region

and he did drop Elite tomes for me
it took some time before he eventually dropped an elite tome but he did drop them
and other stuff like FoW and UW scrolls

there is an ele boss Lonolun Waterwalker found in the Issnur Isles who does have an elite---so he might drop a tome?? (and he is always there--not just during a quest).

Yes, ANY boss will drop an elite tome, and as far as I know the chances do not change. All rare booty drop chances depends on your party size, iirc.
