Does that cover it? (There does seem to be a bit of ambiguity in the Close Action parts of the rules.)

1) No. They don't automatically do anything. The only thing they can do when you activate them is attempt to recover though. They will flee if they fail. The free shot is only taken if there are no remaining friendly units in the hex. This is why we keep making the distinction of attempting recovery together or individually.
Additionally, they still only flee to the adjacent hex, the same as an undemoralized unit exiting the assault hex. They only flee with full movement once outside of the assault hex.
2) Yes, but this is only true if they all leave during the same activation, same as with the fleeing Demoralized units. If there is a remaining friendly unit in the hex, then there is no free shot.
3) Leaders can move with units, but if the leader is disrupted and is moving with a fleeing demoralized unit, it too will become demoralized.
