Is it possible to Charm Mulahey and pickpocket the letters from him?
Could you get to Chapter 3 without killing him?

as long as you are not in combat and you have the letters in your inventory, chapter 3 will start
Can his Holy Symbol be pickpocketed? Its in his quick item slot, but I'm not sure if EE allows you to pickpocket those.
- Mulahey is dead
- the appropriate letter is in inventory
- you're inside Mulahey's cave.
Is it cumulative then ? No workaround not killing him ?
If I am not wrong, the mandatory deaths are:
- 9 in BG1 (Mulahey, Davaeorn, 6 doppelgangers, Sarevok)
- 32 in BG2 (4 mephit portals, 3 from Aran Linvail's tasks, 13 in Spellhold's maze, Bodhi+3 vampires, 6 elemental guardians in the tree of life, Sarevok & Irenicus in hell)
and for the 6 dopplegangers YOU dont have to kill them, you can just get the guards and belt to kill them instead
They still need to die though. And if you don't help the guards & dukes (with damage or buffs/rebuffs), they will most surely die, so you can't just stand idly by.
they can be affected by emotion hopelessness and hold monster, and in fact i believe these dopplegangers for whatever reason have very low hit dice so even sleep spells work on them ( there is a wand of sleep in a container upstairs that can be used on them )
Sounds like a perfect job for Xan!
Mephit portals: I cheesed myself through the locked door with the Polymorph Self trick - change yourself into something with a bigger circle (such as a mustard jelly) and you get placed at the next free space, which may be on the other side of a door/wall if you block the other spaces (I even managed to keep my suspension of disbelief relatively intact, just pretending I oozed myself under the door).
Aran Linvail's tasks and many others: I made use of the fact that you can avoid a kill count by letting your Projected Image cast Flesh to Stone. Then you can return to collect the quest reward and reverse the stoning later.
So we're not all doomed then?
I don't get what you mean with the Spellhold Slayer dream sequence ? Who do you refer to ? There's no mandatory kills in the dream sequences I can remember of.
About the mephit portals and the mustard jelly/door trick, I remember seeing a speedrun video way back that used this trick, I'll have to try it sometime just for giggles !
About the kill count: I'm listing mandatory deaths, not your character sheet. Summons, charmed NPCs, etc., can kill the target for you so that it doesn't appear in your character kill count, but they are still dead.
RP-wise, I did the same as you and used Flesh to Stone on those enemies to advance the quest, then freed them later.
But still, those are just workarounds. Except for the mephits were you just need to find a way to pass that door, the ENGINE requires the listed enemies to "die" so that you can progress in the game.
