In a lash up of diesel locos

It is NOT a "lash up"! It is an "MU Consist", i.e. Multiple Unit Consist.

at night, will the lead unit be the only one with any forward facing lights on?

Yes

Would the last loco in the head end string have the rear facing headlight or red light lit?

Not if coupled to a train. If a set of light units, then the rear unit would have either the headlight on dim, or if equipped with class lights, then the class lights would be red.

  Would a pusher have the red light lit on his tail end,

If so equipped, yes. Otherwise the rear facing headlight would be on dim.

and his headlight shining into the last car (guessing this would ruin night vision) ?

No.

Do all of them leave the ditch lights lit on each loco or just the head end unit?

Just the front of the lead unit.
