Indirect object pronoun

In the sentence 'Les amenecé seriamente' I don't understand why the indirect object pronoun 'Les' is used. I would have thought it would have been a direct object pronoun ie 'Los' or 'Las'. Are 'they' not the direct object of the threatening? I seem to often have a problem with this. It's ok when it's a straightforward 'I gave the present TO her' for example where it is quite clear but in sentences like the one above I get very confused as it often seems the indirect object pronoun is used. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Pegar v Golpear object pronouns

Hello, when I want to translate "they hit her" (occurring in the past for a period), it is translated as "le pegaban" or "la golpeaban". Why is it an indirect object pronoun for pegar but direct for golpear?

I assume then if I wanted to use the expression 'vale la pena' in the conditional, it would read 'valdría la pena'? (It would be worth it)?

I'm confused about quantity and how that relates to singular or plural form of ninguno/ninguna.

No me gustan los tatuajes y por eso no tengo ________.

Shouldn't it be "ningunos" because tatuajes is masculine and plural?

To come or to go

A quiz question asks “vas a venir al cine mañana?”. In English it seems more common to say “are you going to go the movies tomorrow?” (or simply “are you going to the movies tomorrow?”) Any insights into this use of venir instead of ir?

"Ya que."

Ya que is said many times throughout and mostly seems to mean because. I have never seen this before, are there other things that ya que can mean?
