Sangan triggers in the graveyard, so it's irrelevant if it was face down or face up when it was destroyed. It will trigger in both cases.

Would the effect of Harpie Lady 3 activate if she was destroyed in face down defense position?
If "Harpie Lady 3" is destroyed while face-down by the effect of any LV "Mystic Swordsman" or "Sasuke Samurai", it's effect will not work since it was not flipped face-up. If it was attacked while face-down, it is flipped face-up and after damage calculation, it's effect will activate.
If a activates call of the haunted and then b chains mst then coth effect disappears but what happens if mst targets face down coth and its chained to mst and targeting sanga?
Call of the Haunted will resolve first, summoning Sangan. Mystical Space Typhoon will resolve second, destroying Call of the Haunted. This in turn will destroy Sangan. Sangan will start a new chain with his triggered effect and search for a card of 1500 ATK or less.
Can a non flip effect monster activate its effect if it is face down?
No monster can activiate its effect while face down unless it specifically says so; only face up.If you are referring to monsters who say their effects activate when Flip Summoned, that means you must flip the monster up manually during your Main Phase after it is set face down. A monster fliped face up from an attack does not count as a Flip Summon.
Does a flip effect activate when the monster is destroyed by the effect of another monster?
Flip effects will activate if flipped manually by Flip Summon, or when attacked. Also must include "FLIP" in all caps for its effect to activate, or say 'when this card is turned face-up'. For example if a monster such as Guardian Sphinx is flipped face up by an attack or an effect (spell, trap or monster), the effect does not activate, because only a Flip Summon triggers it, not a generic flip. When a card effect destroys a face-down monster, the monster is destroyed and flip effect isn't activated because the monster never flips. Mystic Swordsman Lvl. 4 destroys the monster it attacks without flipping it, so a Flip Effect monster attacked by it will not get its flip effect. To summarize, if a FLIP effect monster is attacked while face down, then it will activate. But if it's destroyed by a card effect while face down then it won't activate. Some card effects let you flip monsters face up and let the flip effect activate, like book of taiyou. But others, like ceasefire don't let it activate. If it says 'when this card is flipped face up' then you have to do that manually on your own turn.

Do flip effects have to work if tributed?
If the face-down monster is tributed, then no, any Flip Effects it has will not activate. Under normal conditions therefore, you should flip the monster first, allow the effect to activate/resolve, then tribute the monster for whatever. But you are out of luck if your face-down Flip Effect monster is tributed by the opponent using Soul Exchange, for example. Because it never 'Flips' (even though it goes to the graveyard face up) the effect will not activate.
