As @Venusaur0817 said, the Comet replaces the sun as a source of energy, thereby overriding a solar eclipse

Yes, as such, I think it would make sense that Raava be able to replace the moon and sun as sources.

Yeah, Lets not give avatars the ability to bend by themselves out of avatar state in a eclipse. Avatar aang was both in avatar state AND had the ocean spirit giving him strength. So, that.

Yes, as I said, they'd be able to bend by using Raava as a source, but only in the Avatar State. Which means that they'd either have to activate the non-continuous State every single time, or bend while in the continuous State, which as we all know, is very dangerous.

No, they would have to have the moon spirit helping them. Raava is what lets you go into the avatar state so that you can actually handle that spirit energy.

Says who? The ocean spirit only amplified it. Raava, through the Avatar State, would have actually acted as a source for the Avatar's bending. It has been shown that benders can change the source at which they draw their bending from. For example, during the Comet, firebenders, instead of traditionally drawing power from the sun, instead drew it from the Comet. In addition, Zuko stopped fueling his bending with rage, but from the energy of life, as well as Aang. Aang also drew his waterbending during the seige of the NWT from Raava's energy and the energy of the ocean spirit (but he could've done so just from Raava). And I think the Avatar should still get a full moon bonus. The avatar does get bonuses from both the comet and state in the game, does he not?
Ok so Sozin's Comet would replace the sun as a source. Why? All it did was enhance firebending. And I agree with Owl here, it would be like multiplying a number by 0 and get a number isn't zero, you can't enhance what someone doesn't have. And also since Aang was able to waterbend with the aid of a spirit, I see it as sensible that the avatar would be able to bend during either of the eclipses due to the fact that they get their power from Ravva who holds all four elements. After the spirit turtles stopped giving the elements, people had to learn from different sources - Air from the sky bison, Fire from the dragons and sun, Water from the moon and how it pushes and pulls the waves, Earth from the badger moles. Since Ravva still holds the elements from the spirit turtles, I don't think that either element would be affected. Now I don't think they would be as strong because the bender (avatar) themself still have to learn the tactics. That's how I see it

You can't just say a the avatar can waterbender during a lunar eclipse and firebend during a solar eclipse. There would need to be a LOT of evidence to bring that kind of change, and there just isn't. Besides, it isn't like the avatar is going to be stranded without bending during a eclipse, they still have either firebending, earthbending, and airbending or waterbending, earthbending and airbending. Those odds seem to make it like the avatar doesn't need this unreasonable buff.

In the Avatar Universe, I highly doubt their power is decided through math. If anything, it would be more like Addition. But either way, I highly doubt that math is applicable in this situation in the show.
