How do I create a REGEX search to find all unique proper names in the OT with a source text that uses the  \pn ...\pn* marker? That is, how can I get a list of all the proper names in the OT and at the same time, not get multiple occurrences of each term? Some of this may need to happen outside of Paratext.

You can use Regex Pal. Go to the main menu (big menu symbol in the upper left corner). Choose Advanced > RegEx Pal... Type you regex in the find box (e.g. \\\+?pn .*?\\\+?pn\*) and then use Tools > Count/Extract with the option Unique.
