I'm pretty sure the part of the Human Effigy's description that says it makes connections between worlds weaker is referring to the act of burning one. This effect is temporary but I believe the time has to be spent in-game (can't quit), but I'm not sure if you have to remain in the area of the bonfire in which you burned it.

I definitely agree to a fair fight. I'm currently invading in the Bell Tower to get rank 3 in the covenant (got like 20 more kills to go), but don't like to see two guys just team up on one. I think the way stamina works in this game (although not unique) makes it too difficult; two guys can just spam you with R1 until you can't block any longer.

When I invade I try to give a bow and get a 1v1. If I invade with another phantom on my side I just let the two fight first until it's my turn.
