Combat cards are not restricted by the No Repeat Actions (NRA) rule -
NRA is a restriction against repeat *actions*, not combat cards (or
other cards, for that matter).
The only restriction on combat cards is: a minion cannot use more
than one additional-strike-gaining-effect in a single round.
(Also, a minion cannot cancel his own maneuver or press, and you can
only play one strike card per strike, but those go without saying).

Yes, again unrelated to the NRA rule.

Yes, unless the card in question is restricted by some specific rule.

No, since there is a restriction against using the same reaction card
more than once (by the same minion) per action.

"in the same turn", you mean.
For action cards, the answer is "no". Each action card is the
same type of action as itself, regardless of the level used, so
repeating it is restricted by the NRA rule.

That works.

The revised rulebook (see .sig) should clear all this up (except for
the NRA, which is covered in the DCI rules). If something isn't
restricted, though, the absence of the restriction will likely not
be noted.
