Actually, "Sense Link" can be used for such.

It has happened, but not as a beginning character, ignoring Voudon of course

You better explain this one better...

Any non-paranormal being technically, "non-sentient" (aka, it can't be used as
a PC race). The "Harvester Clone" concept has recently been brought up
though. Please remember, that Ally's within certain shells (Habitation
Power), do gain benefits to the Body attribute... ;)

It's simply a rule, basically to keep arguments about "well it's in the body
of a paranorm, thus it gets' the paranorm's abilities as well" from stirring
up.

Technically, his/her Charisma, as they do count as a spirit category.

IF GEASA rules are followed, potentially not, but By-the-Book, yes, s/he
becomes a mundane (Burnout).

Yes, but not for very long.

Animal Form is by animal (critter) type. Human Form allows for variation, but
the stats are the allies regardless of form, beit Troll or Dwarf or Human
Baby...

theoretically, it could by appearance, but again, By-the-Book, it wouldn't
gain any powers without a direct GM intervention moment...

Yes, but journey's (aka Quests) always begin from the Home Metaplane of the
Spirit in question...

Please read ... "Striper Assassin", you will get ideas...
