1) No you cant...Just move your force toward that hex that the TF in question resides and your commander of your TF will probably attack. Make sure he has a high aggressive rating to increase the likelyhood.
2) Are you sure you didn't accidentally click on the apd when additing ships to your newly formed TF? I know occassionally I accidentally click on the wrong ship.
3) Depends on what is making that landing zone hot. I will say, that if youre moving a long distance, then stick a tanker (TK) or a fleet oiler (AO) into the transport TF. As long as you loaded the tanker with fuel cargo, it will resupply automatically all ships in the same hex with it, thus increasing the distance they can go.
Aircombat, surface combat, and bombardment task forces hitting the landing zone before your transport TF's are usually a good way to keep them safer. You might even want to assign an air combat TF a follow mission and have it follow the transport TF for continuous CAP.
4) Best used in areas where your land based search planes can not reach.
5) Ops represent operation points. For instance, if you have told a TF to refuel at port, it will take time to do this. So when the turn button is pushed, if that same TF was given an order to move to a different port, it won't move right away because some of the time was 'spent' refueling. Thus in game turns, on that particular turn, the TF won't move as far because some of it's moving time was actually spent refueling. I think 1000 op points spent means the entire time was spent on 1 or more ships doing something and the TF will only move space. (all TF's can move a minimum of 1 space no matter what as per the rules of the game)
6)
Collier Small surface boat used to defend/attack subs mostly. Its a short range boat. Use it if you see a sub close by and make a surface TF with these and go to the hex with the sub.
Cargo ship Moves supplies fuel to bases so that units at those bases can operate. Fuel for ships, supplies for planes/ship ammo/ground units/base expansion
Oiler Moves fuel to bases or ships in a TF
Patrol Gunboat Short range boat that is used in surface combat. Think of Motor Torpedo boats or PT boats.
Tanker In game terms, same as Oiler.
