So, with 'companion,' does this work like a second commander that you can cast once? Does it sit in the command zone? Do you get a game loss when you reveal that you accidentally put an even card like Sol Ring in the deck?

Everything they’ve said it doesn’t have a “zone.” It’s just outside the game. Presumably, if you’ve cast it, and then it comes out that you don’t follow the restriction, yes. If you are in some kind of sanctioned play you would presumably get a game loss.
I like the flavor of this card being a 6/6. Since it cannot beat the 7 power Godzilla card in combat, reminds me that Gigan can't defeat Godzilla in the movies.
With one of this in your graveyard, when you play the other as companion you can mill your entire library and then play Thassa's oracle, hum nice !
How so? The card reads that one of the four you mill has to be chosen. So one in the graveyard does nothing (unless of course you milled it with his ability).
I do have a rules question on timing. Say I cast him, his ability triggers, a clone gets milled, i bring back the clone copying him, when does the legend rule happen, before or after the mill ability of the clone resolves?

State based actions are check every time an ability resolves. The legend rule is a part of that. Since clones enter as a copy of something, rather than their copy being a trigger once they enter, you can try to chain clones that way.

What i was getting at was say I have mortuaryand I cast Garuda. I hit a clone, bring it back copying Garuda, is there a time i can sac the clone to the legend rule and put it on top from the mortuary and then hit it again with clone Garuda mill, or do i need a sac outlet to sac the clone to?

Once the Garuda trigger finishes resolving state based actions will force you to choose a creature to keep with the legend rule. Then the other two triggers will go on the stack in whatever order you want them too. So yes. That works.
I assume they forgot the word 'land' or 'nonland' in the deck restrictions for Gyruda, Doom of Depths. As for the rest of the companions feature the restriction plus the usage of the word 'nonland' or 'land'.

They didn't forget, it's just unnecessary! Because lands all have a CMC of 0, they're all automatically even, so his ability doesn't have to specify non-land.

Mechanically true, but the redundancy would help a new player know based on the pattern from the other companions.

I guess Wrexial, the Risen Deep remains the best expy.

Here is the companions so you can compare them with Gyruda.
Keruga, the Macrosage, Umori, the Collector, Lutri, the Spellchaser, and Obosh, the Burrower
