They are no longer moved into the ship in question at all; read the FB2
turn sequence, p.6, phase 6). This is a change from the previous FT
versions.

Every time it attacks.

The carrier's movement restrictions while launching/recovering fighters
are unchanged from FT2 p.16. There are no restrictions while the
fighters are staying in the bays.

Both of these questions are explicitly answered by "Fighter Re-Arming -
New Rule", FB2 p.4.

Explicitly stated in "Fighter Re-Arming - New Rule", FB2 p.4.

Consider the reorganisation completed once the fighters have launched;
until then they are in separate bays.

>5 Can a fighter move the round it is launched ?

In FT2 yes; not specified in FBx. The FT FAQ has some suggestions on
how to resolve this situation in FBx.

>6 Can you join two fighter groups of different type ?

No.
