No.  The test for effective fire boils down to determining how effective *small arms fire against other infantry/soft targets* is.  Each stand that has an IAVR can fire it an enemy tank using normal anti-vehicle firing rules.

Also no.  

Ok.  Now that I've said that, since it's not completely clear in the rules, note that that is how my gaming group played it.  Jon could certainly chime in to override me with how he actually intended for it to be played. :)
