If you haven't seen my Clockwork Lullaby Analysis, I recommend you check there as I do explain Capriccio Farce and mention the topics you have brought up. As for your question on why they are killing them...

You are under the assumption that they knew he was a descendant of Venomania and that they ne ed someone with the Duke's blood to be the "replacement". We don't know exactly why replacements are needed and what criteria (if any) exists for them. From what I have seen, they kill trespassers because they assume they are trying to steal the vessels of sin (with the rumors about Gallerian's treasure, this makes sense). Gammon's role was likely only given when it was either realized he could be a replacement or because they really did need someone for chores.

"Hiding their true intentions," refers to Ma and Gammon's personal agendas that each of them carry, not telling anyone else what they are hoping for. It would seem Gammon is hoping to steal the sword when he gets the chance, while Ma seems to be trying to assemble the sins for her own purposes. I can't say any of this with any degree of certainty beyond the implicative speculation I am providing. I apologize for this.
