I think you're doing it wrong. My reading of the rules, (page 41, 
about two thirds of the way down the first column) is that so long as 
one of your squad can make it into contact, you put the whole squad 
into close assault. So no need to take fire unless NONE of your 
troops have made contact.

I think only the actual defenders can fire on your troops.

No the wounded guys are down. (Page 42.) You fight the other members
of the opposing squad.

Yes.

I wouldn't know. Remember the communicatiob roll.
