This film is supposed to make you speculate about these questions. However, I am able to answer a few of your questions based on my opinion though...
Q: Who is behind the game?
A: The person who sprayed all the blue text on the wall that leads to the abandoned building.
Q: Who is doing all the killings?
A: As shown at the end of the movie, when Vern whacks Sarah with a bat after fully understanding the Design, the people who are doing the killings are those who understood the design, i.e. Emily Gray and Vern.
Q: What causes people to change and become murderers?
A: The Design.
Q: What is The Design?
A: Nemesis, a Buddhist monk, searched for the meaning of life and discovered that there is a grand design in life, and everybody has a part to play. Nemesis came to the conclusion that death is part of the design, and it doesn't matter who or what causes the death. Is an earthquake evil because it kills? Is a tornado evil because it kills? Nemesis believed that similarly, a human isn't evil if he kills; it's just a part of his nature.
Q: What is Dennis doing back from the dead?
A: This is not quite known yet, but from my point of view, I think Dennis might not have been dead after being assaulted by Emily Gray, or that the person in the carpark was not Dennis, but some other guy who understood the Design and appeared to warn Sarah that she was going to die.
Q: What is the significance of the mirror?
A: The inverse of the name "Dennis Reveni" spells "ineveR sinneD", and that the mirror is used for inversing the name of Dennis Reveni.
Q: How does Emily know about Sarah and his father?
A: Part of the Design?
I have another post on this film, anyone who know the list of riddles used in Nemesis Game, please tell me! Thanks =)

Q: Who is behind the game?
The end of the movie said that there were seven sets of fingerprints on the blue spray paint can... Emily, Dennis, Vern & 4 unknowns (though you'd think Sarah would be in there, too). When Sarah told Vern about Nemesis she said that after his death, Nemesis' followers developed a game where riddles were written on the temple walls, then others would answer them. Those that solved the last riddle and were shown the design would leave riddles for others to solve. Presumably this continued through the ages.
Q: What is Dennis doing back from the dead?
After Sarah told Vern about Nemesis, they watched the film of Emily's interview. I believe it's Sarah that speculates that Emily must not have killed Dennis or she would have confessed to his murder (like Nemesis did). She had not managed to kill Dennis, so she had to kill Curran to fulfill the Design.
