According to this Image, it's Mohammed... that's how it's written in Katakana. But the book seems to call it muhammed for whatever reason... I don't know which source is the most reliable one. Apparently Rudol von Stroheim seems to be correct.

I really don't know about the others. In Thoth's case very wikia's page our very wikia's page there is an image in which it is called "Tohth". I'm sure there is plently of similar cases... isn't that the Jojo a gogo official art book?

I understand your critic, and in fact we should check for the official translations... Still, I don't know if the official romaji can be considered reliable. Even if it was Araki who wrote it, we then had to call the Kujo family Cujoh. In Abdul's case, the "MUhammad" romajisation is plain wrong.

Truth is, I can't name a reliable source that solves all the problems. I was checking out the Japanese wikia: it correctly states that Cante's name is actually Gelato, but misromajises Cioccolata in Cioccolato, despite the kana clearly saying otherwise.

I guess we should follow the official artwork when it comes to the pillar men, straizo and the others.
