Do the Shia believe that Mutah was prohibited by the Prophet (s) during the battle of Khaybar?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Shia Muslims believe in and follow the truth only. The narration you referred to is a fabricated one as leading Sunni Shaikhs including Umar ibn al-Khttab never believed that Mut'ah marriage was prohibited anytime during the life of the Prophet (SAWA). That is why Umar has clearly said about Mut'ah: It was allowed during the time of the Messenger of Allah and I am prohibiting it. ( Musnad Aahmad Ibn Hanbal and Sunan al-Bayhaqi and Saheeh Muslim and many other Sunni sources).

Wassalam.
Am I allowed to get into a Mutah marriage with a guy without my father's permission as he will never allow it being a non-Shia?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If your non Shia father refuses to allow your marriage with a good Believing person, for no valid reason, and you need the marriage to save yourself from falling in sin, you can refer to your Marja' of Taqleed to seek his guidance.

It is disliked for a virgin girl to do Mut'ah marriage.

For a Muslim revert girl who is Baligh, is it necessary to ask permission of her non-Muslim father for temporary or permanent marriage?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

The fiqhi ruling for this is the same for any wali amr, and she would need the consent of her father, whether he is Muslim or not. This is in the case that she has not been married before and is not completely independent in everything she does (balighah/rashidah). 

And Allah knows best. 
I want to engage in temporary marriage with a woman where I will be her agent to pronounce the marriage formula as well as my own. What is the correct formula I need to pronounce on her behalf?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If she wanted you to recite on her behalf and both of you agree the period (Muddah) of marriage and the (Mahr), you say: ZAWWAJTU MOWAKKILATI (her name) LINAFSI 'ALAL MAHR AL-MA'LOOM LIL MUDDATIL MA'LOOMAH. Then say immediately: QABILTU ATTAZWEEJA LINAFSI 'ALAL MAHRIL MA'LOOM LIL MUDDATIL MA'LOOMAH.

If your Arabic is not proper, you should seek help from a person who can pronounce a Arabic properly.

If she is from People of Book (Ahlul Kitab non Muslims) and you have already  a Muslim wife in permanent marriage, you need the permission of your Muslim wife before engaging in temporary marriage with a woman from Ahlul Kitab ( Christian , Jewish, Zaorastrians).

Wassalam.
