All beam weapons get the re-roll, if you're using that option at all. In

the basic rules fighters are described as being armed with beam weapons;

therefore they get the re-roll.

Kra'Vak fighters and Torpedo fighters are explicit exceptions from this 
(using small K-guns and some sort of torpedo, respectively); they do NOT

get the re-roll against ships (but DO get them against other fighters
for 
some reason - this is explicitly mentioned in the Kra'Vak case.)

Yes (unless Kra'Vak or Torpedo)

Yes (even Kra'Vak or Torpedo)

Yes.

No, it only implies that any re-roll also has to be successful (ie.,
roll a 
"6") in order to score a kill.
