I've done extensive searching and have yet to find any posted list of, at the very least, the characters who are in the card game. My question is are they the same as the characters in Tactics and are any of the following in Shadows or the expansion: Alessa Raincross, Celia, Kirsten, or Deadmoon?

The characters in the card game don't really have names per se, but are more archetypes or classes. For instance there's the Warlock or the Fencer or the Weaponmaster.

Many of these seem to correspond to characters from Anima:Tactics, although I only know very little of Tactics (basicalle have only browsed through the character descriptions briefly) so I can't be entirely certain. But I think for example that the Weaponmaster is Kroenen and the Priestess is the lady from the Light starter pack. So there seems to be crossover, even if they don't have their names in the card game, but only archetype names.
