Two questions:

1) How do you conjugate verbs that end in -ять? I.e. удивляться, являться and so forth

2) What would you form the imperatives of verbs that have a mutations? I.e. мочь, помочь

Thanks!

For example, удивлять/ся:
я удивляЮ/сь
ты удивляЕШЬ/ся
он удивляЕТ/ся
мы удивляЕМ/ся
вы удивляЕТЕ/сь
они удивляЮТ/ся

2) I didn't understand what you meantm saying "mutations"? But imperative for "мочь" is "смоги!"/"моги!", "помочь" - "помоги!"

смоги would be an odd imperative... "Be able!"?

Yep.
— Товарищ сержант, я не могу забраться на эту стену!
— Моги.

[— Sir, I can't climb this wall, sir!
— Be able/Can.]

And back to the topic. Мочь, помочь -> моги, помоги.
Думать, придумать -> думай, придумай.

And it's actually for a different verb -- "смочь"... I mean don't count the "с" as a part of imperativization :)
