I don't understand any of the error symptoms above, but my first reaction would be to re-install the Office for Mac 2011 applications, and then update office to the latest update.

And to do that you need to uninstall Office properly - DO NOT drag to Trash. Got a good spare hour?

After performing a clean (re)install of Yosemite, I had the exact error when I tried to open any Office 2011 application. I updated Office (from the Microsoft website), and all is well.
