I played King's Court to choose Band of Misfits.
I played Band of Misfits as Embargo.
I played Band of Misfits as Fishing Village.
I played Band of Misfits as Caravan.
Does King's Court remain in play until the Cleanup of the next turn? How about next one?

No, because KC did not ever play a Duration card. Each time, KC played a BoM, then you chose a card, and then BoM played itself as that card.
How about next one?

Exact same situation.

King's Court indirectly plays Duration, that's why?

So, if I were to count how many actions I've played this turn, they would be 7, right? (KC - BoM - Embargo - BoM - FV - BoM - Caravan)
While if I KC a Band of Misfits as Village they would only be 5, right?
King's Court - BoM - Village - Village - Village
Not that it matters, but I want to check that I understand how BoM works.

If I understand this correctly, it's because it was BoM, not KC, who instructed you to play the Duration.

Yes, according to my understanding.

Correct.

Just in case I'm not the only person who has been having trouble understanding what was going on in these scenarios, I'll explain both the problem I was having and why I shouldn't have been having it.
My problem was that I didn't initially see how BoM was managing to be played as BoM (and hence get to play itself as three different cards) every time by KC. I coped with the first two because BoM as Embargo has trashed itself so had left play and become BoM again, but I then found myself thinking something along the lines "but Fishing Village doesn't trash itself so how is BoM managing to become BoM again for its third play?" Only very belatedly did I remember that BoM was of course in the trash after its first play so only ever became another card for an instant. Perhaps if I'd been playing with physical cards I'd have remembered this rather more rapidly.
