I think Im gonna give up trying to Platinum trophy this game since it's so hard to find PvP for all those medals that are required (Sunshine and Darkmoon covenants). :( I don't have much time until Skyrim comes out either.

You can get all the trophies without having to PVP once, that's why the platinum is doable offline as well.

You can get up to 9 Sunshine medals per playthrough, 6 for each time you summon Solaire for a boss fight (Gargoyles, Gaping Dragon, Ornstein and Smough, Centipede Demon and Gwyn. He'll only appear for Gwyn if you rescue him from the Lost Izalith Shortcut, after fighting the Centipede Demon with him, you'll need 30 humanity to get Chaos Servant covenant to +2 to open the shortcut though), there's another given to you by Lautrec and there's 3 on a chest on Anor Londo.

Souvenir of Reprisal can be farmed of the Harpy enemies on Painted World of Aramis, although the drop rate for them is pretty low. 30 Humanity and Covetous Gold Snake Ring is recommended to boost the drop rate to acceptable levels.

Oh. That sounds awesome.

How do I summon Solare? I have only summoned two guys who first appeared as hostile phantoms (one was at this female spider boss).

How can I enter the Sunshine covenant? Is really the only way to have Faith 50? (if u play off-line).

Also, can I skip level 2 of Chaos servant covenant entirely? Is level 1 enuff?

Ali pretty much explained it, but i'll add that to enter the Sunshine Covenant, you've either got to have 50 Faith (25 after patch 1.04) or for everytime you helped online as a white phantom in another player's world to beat any area's boss, the requirement drops 5 points. So let's say you helped 7 times, that shaves 35 points out of the 50 required and thus you'll only need 15 Faith to enter the covenant.
