So we see the key had been delivered to unlock the promise of the HG to these folks.

Why then did Philip not preach the FULL (repent, baptism, tongues) experience to the eunuch? He certainly heard the message Peter and John preached, and whoever he was (the apostle, or the evangelist, scripture is not clear), he should have been enlightened at that point, and certainly should have changed his message at that point.

Why was he still preaching only repentance and baptism AFTER Peter and John visited?

That is the thorn here in this whole discussion.

And why I still wonder about the correlation of the deceased Dr. Graham, and Philip. Dr. Graham most certainly heard the good news about tongues, and rejected it, for whatever reason. Did Philip also reject it? And just continue preaching what he had already been preaching?

No you cannot compare Phillip's ministry with that of Graham. Graham wasn't even in the Church and Phillip was ordained by the Apostles for his ministry. Graham didn't have the Holy Ghost and Phillip did.

Acts 6:3-5 (KJV) 3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. 4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. 5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:
