It's at least three transfers. Btw, it can be quite a bit faster to fly.

Are instructions easy to follow?

Yes, the transfers are not too difficult.

Is it best to take a night train?or would we lose the scenery? With our fourteen day rail pass may we reserve seats ahead of time?

Night trains will be more difficult to book and are not fully covered by the pass, but are an interesting option that will shift your travel time toward evening rather than the more valuable morning shinkansen trip. Note that you'll arrive in Hakodate around 6:30 AM. You can book in advance with your pass.

Where are you leaving from Mount. Fuji, what station?
Assuming Fujisan Station, Fujisan-Tokyo 130-150min 1-2 transfer.
Tokyo - Hakodate , 500-600min 3 transfer.

Fastest way, by plane to Hakodate airport:
Seems 80min flight from Haneda to Hakodate.
