My unit is encircled. All hex around are occupied by enemy, and the hex where it's, too.
Anyway, one of the near hex is occupied ALSO by one other of mine unit. Situation is ( i'm allied ) :

      J    J

   AJ   AJ    J

      J    J

If my encircled unit is forced to withdraw, will it withdraw toward west, where there's another my unit ? Or it will be "vaporized" ? ( the path from center AJ HEX to west AJ hex is a road )

Also, in that zoc situation, Does the unit in the centre AJ hex has an open supply path thanks to the unit in the west AJ hex ?

PS: west of that area is all allied control zone

No retreat possible into an contested ZOC, also no supplies flowing OUT of an contested ZOC. In this situation you are surrounded and out of supply........

It will surrender, and it can't get any supplies through the contested (A J) hex.
Those two things are related, so when a unit is forced to withdraw, but can't trace a supply path to any friendly base, it will surrender (except for Japanese, which can commence Banzai charge).
