I've read your post a couple timesand I still fail to see why this can't be explained by desync.
Whenever I am in desync my mercs still attack an do damage as normal (Can't remember off hand if my minions/pets/summons do or not.) and everything seems exactly as you describe it.
Here are some hints for beating desync.
1.) If your have a mercenary move to the spot where he appears on your map. This puts you in roughly the same position as the server thinks you are in.
2.) If you have no merc in a multiplayer game, ask a friend to go to the place on the map where you appear...then you go there and it should snap back to normal.
3.) Cast a town portal and go to it on the map (I just thought of this but I am not sure if it would work as I can't remember if TPs appear on the map...)
Like I said everything you said sounds like desync.
spells/attacks don't do damage, invisible monsters hurt you, no spell timers (BTW, hydras are very fun with desync even though they don't do damage ), etc. etc.
