Apologies for delay in reply. See other mail for reason (!!!)

See p.37 Individual Fire of Support Weapons. Each support weapon
requires a 
separate Action to fire.

Yes, an independent figure that is currently attached to a unit is
treated 
as amember of the unit. If he is unattached, he is therefore
independent, 
so apply rules for Firing at Independent Figures (p.26). If currently a 
member of a Detached Element then apply rules for such (pp.17-18).

A panicced squad cannot perform any actions, but taking a Confidence
Test 
is not an action. The panicced squad takes the CL Test. If it fails it
will 
withdraw, if it passes it will fight. Panicced troops have frozen, but
self 
preservation will override the desire to hide if they are charged.

That seems reasonable to me 8-).

No, its Closed Shift.
