Can a word that has bystander tokens on it be used as a clue?
The rulebook says a bystander token leaves the word visible, so the visible-word rule still applies.

No. Bystander tokens do not cover the word, so it stays visible and the rule against clueing visible words still applies. Only an agent tile covering the word makes it usable.
