I haven't seen an official ruling on this.

My personal opinion would be yes you could. Trashing the Ceska would
be played as a stinger, and since it's your turn timing would be on
your side. Kinda like harvesting equipment off a fallen teammate and
selling it for the cash in the RPG. This is just MHO though.

I would think it plays like the Integrated Control Center that also
attaches to the objective and thus doesn't count towards you maximum
playable challenges.

No, you only get the card's bonus when using that weapon in combat.

Unlike Indirect Fire or Blazing Guns that specify just the weapon's
attack value, Flechette Rounds simply say the unarmored target takes
double damage so I'd say you double the combined attack value of the
runner and the gun.
