All of the first three questions are answered in FASA's FAQ. You can
check it out yourself at
http://www.fasa.com/Shadowrun/SRTCG/SRTCGFAQ.html
The third question is not answered directly but you can probably get a
fair understanding of it by reading about timing.
As for the forth question let me quote some lines for the RB.
p.71 - When you can intercept.
"If a player declares a shadowrun against an undefended Objective
(an Objective with no opponents' Challenges guarding it), the
Objectives' owner may choose to intercept the shadowrun with one
or more of his unturned Runners."
p.52-53 - Definition of bluffing
"A player may choose to play a non-Challenge card on an Objective as
if it were a Challenge. Such a bluff can discourage other players
from attacking an Objective. Bluffs count toward the maximum
number
of Challenges per Objective. Trash any Challenges played as bluffs
when they are encountered during a shadowrun.
From the above rules excerps (spelling?) the last line of the
definition
clearly counts bluffs as challenges that are trashed after being
revealed. Also the intercept requirments clearly state that to
intercept, the Objective must not have any Challenges on it. So to get
to the point you can not intercept a shadowrun against an objective
that
is only guarded by a bluff. The group I play with has tweaked this
rule
slightly, we say that any non-challenge card once revealed is fragged
instead of trashed. We just had to many people bluffing because we
mostly have non-combat oriented decks, so intercepting is not something
you want to do.
