Pervinca Took is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
1. Rearrange graphite for a thain’s bride – and she’s one of these!
ISENGRIM (TOOK): Harsh metal, poetically, forms him.
PEARL (TOOK): Add liquid to fruit for her.
PALADIN (TOOK): Regal dwelling loses this French racket for him.
5. Whisky-based tipple is heard to suffer ovine extraction, but through turmoil finds direction for him.
6. A ghazal would do this here.

Yes, isen for iron plus grim for harsh, with adjective following noun as often happens in poetry (poetic licence).

I didn't know about I indicating liquid state - you mean I as opposed to L? My chemistry classes are now long, long ago ....
