If I take Gladiator Beast Retiari with Brain Control, can I tag it out after it battles?!
You control the opponent's Retiari due to Brain Control and it battles.
Yes. You can activate the effect you control, and the cost is to shuffle it into its owner's Deck.
Does Icarus Attack allow self-targeting, and what part of Test Tiger's effect is the cost?!
You consider Icarus Attack's targeting and Test Tiger's tribute effect to tag out a Gladiator Beast.
Icarus Attack cannot target itself. For Test Tiger, the Tribute is the cost. You tribute and then target a Gladiator Beast; the target is chosen on activation, so you cannot wait to pick the target to dodge a chain like Book of Moon.

The ② effect:
● It can't be activated unless there is a “Gladiator Beast” monster in your Deck.
● It can activate and resolve while “Skill Drain” is applying (without being negated).
● It can be negated by “Royal Oppression” (If it is, this card remains in the Deck (it is not destroyed)).
● “Battling” requires this card to be involved in Damage Calculation
(If this card's attack is negated, the ② effect can't activate).
● If multiple “Gladiator Beast” effects are activated at the end of the Battle Phase,
they don’t go on the same Chain (they each activate, one after another, each on their own Chain).
Vs "Rivalry of Warlords"/"Gozen Match":
● If you have a Gladiator Beast of the same Type/Attribute in your Deck, you can activate the ② effect.
If you do, you can Summon any Gladiator Beast of any Attribute.
