Oh, boy.

It's not a monster. :)
Is the rat referring to traitors? Or just the Burmecians and Cleyrans?
The line has several meanings.
Prince Puck?
Not Prince Puck.
I am endless toil - a worker?
No comedian I - possibly referring to the answer's antics of being funny when not intending to?
You've got the first one right. The second one could arguably be right, but there are two more important meanings to the line.
Is it the worker who is fixing the sign when Vivi trips over?
Correct! Reasoning as follows:
I am endless toil - He works constantly, hammers away on his sign endlessly until...
Interrupted - down and up - Vivi trips, making him miss. He climbs down the ladder, then back up.
No comedian I - This is a reference to the signmaker's name being Dante, like the author of Divine Comedy. But sign maker Dante is no comedian - instead he gets angry at Vivi's little comical tripping.
Yet it somehow helps - But it seems that it helped, because though he worked eternally before...
Thrice more I strike, then punch out - When he returns, he only strikes the sign three more times. Then he "punches out", ie. leaves work.
Do I smell a rat? - A reference to Puck who arrives on the scene, who apart from being a rat is also up to no good, which the phrase suggests. ;)
