The course is whatever is described in the SI.  

Can race officers protest the boat?

A race committee may protest a boat (rule 60.2).

If the race committee ... intends to protest a boat concerning an incident the committee observed in the racing area, it shall inform her after the race within the time limit [specified as the protest time limit in the SI or rule 61.3, usually one our two hours after the race finishes] (rule 61.1( b )).

Presumably nothing in the SI removes the requirements under rule 28 that the boat shall sail the course, and nothing changes the requirement in rule 63.1 that a boat shall not be penalised without a protest hearing, unless somebody validly protests the boat it should be awarded points for the place in which she crossed the finishing line.

I hate pursuit races, the last one I took part in they changed the course about 3 times, here is a video of this race, excuse rude gesture at end.

Can anyone tell me the answer to this one please...

In a pursuit race, if a boat sails the wrong course for the full hour (ie goes the wrong side of one mark consistently), then must that helm elect to retire or face disqualification?

In a pursuit, the winner is the boat which has gone the furthest distance. A boat which sailed the wrong course sailed the right course until the mistake on the first lap.

Can it be argued that such a competitor should be awarded last place?

Thanks.
