Yoke full aft, full right aileron, left rudder as necessary to maintain

OK, so you're saying that based on the situation, I should trust the
ATIS, not the fact that the plane is drifting right? Should the
ailerons _always_ be into the wind regardless of actual aircraft
drift?

As a previous poster wrote, ATIS is only a guide. Keep in mind that the
wind is only measured at one place on the airport.

Ailerons should always be properly deflected when taxiing, taking off or
landing. What direction to apply them and how much will depend on the
direction the aircraft is moving and the direction the wind is striking
the aircraft from.

Taxiing with a tailwind is different than taxiing with a headwind or
crosswind. Your instructor should have covered that with you in your
primary training. If they didn't find a new instructor.

The best recommendation is to get some taildragger training with an
experienced taildragger instructor. THAT will really teach you about
proper control position and use in an aircraft.

How much rudder in one direction or the other can a tricycle gear
light plane take without groundlooping?

You only apply as much rudder as necessary to maintain control in the
direction you want to go.
