Questions

Is a pair of dragons a yaku?

No. Only a triplet or quad of a dragon is a yaku. A pair of dragons adds a little fu, but no han.

Which winds count?

Your own seat wind and the round wind. Any other wind is not a yaku, even as a triplet.

What is double East?

The dealer's East triplet in East wind: East is both the seat and the round wind, so it scores both yaku.

Do yakuhai count with an open hand?

Yes. A called triplet of value tiles is still a yaku, which makes it the usual way to win with an open hand.
