If a planeswalker you control has zero loyalty counters while you control Sanctum Lurker, it will not be put into its owner's graveyard. You may still activate abilities of that planeswalker that cost [0] or that add counters to it as a cost, such as the one granted by Sanctum Lurker.

Only one loyalty ability of each planeswalker may be activated per turn, no matter how many it has gained.

If you control a Jace planeswalker token, you can't choose to create a new one when you empower Jace. You have to put the loyalty counters on your existing Jace planeswalker token. In the rare case that you control multiple Jace planeswalker tokens, you'll choose one of those tokens to put the loyalty counters on.
