My daughters are dual nationality (US and another).
You will have no problem entering the US if you use the HKID card. My daughters have been on several trips where the US passport wasn't stamped. It doesn't matter. They might ask you where you have been but that's it.
"HKID card is only the residency or the right to abode in HK and not a declaration of Chinese nationality, or is it?"
Quite right. In any case the US allows dual nationalities so I don't see the problem wih declaring US nationality. They're not trying to get you, they're trying to ensure protection in case something happens.

I wanted to add that since the only passport you have is US, they might well stamp it anyway. But no issues either way.
"I have another concern: assuming I am using HKID card to enter HK and there will be no time limit of my staying in HK, right?"
That depends on your visa/residency. If you are a resident, then no limits.
"What if my US passport expired while I am in HK, can I renew it in HK or do I have to return the US before expiration date?"
You can renew it at the US consulate in HK. http://hongkong.usconsulate.gov/acs_passports.html . I would advise starting the process well before expiration.

"While we are on the subject, do you by any chance know if I can apply residency for my two children (age 4 & 3) who are US born after arrival in HK based on my HK permanent residency status?"
I'm afraid I don't know, but the information should be on the immigration department website.

I am pretty sure they stamp it if you want them too, I have permanent ID card and I hand my passport over to be stamped.
