You are on the right track, but in this case I can't imagine a search where you would want to run a "replace all". The possibilities of non-name text fitting the search are pretty large no matter what. No regex string can tell if a word is a person's name.
For the "Thomas J. Beale" sorts of case, ([a-z])\. ([A-Z])\. ([A-Z]) with match case checked should work OK. Your other searches look OK, but I'd do "find and replace" throughout the book for any of them rather than "replace all". In your "A. B. Charles" case, I think you want another nbsp to go be tween the B and C in the replace string.
