When you use Taste of vitae, do you also gain blood that your opponent
spent for combat cards? Common Sense says no, but then again this is
a card game.

Can you use Govern the Unaligned to bleed someone other than your
prey? I always thought so, but a friend of mine claims to have
found errata saying you can't (which I can't find).

If I use Form of Mist at superior to get out of combat, and continue
on with my action, can my opponent play Fast Reaction or not?
Form of Mist says you continue "as if unblocked", while Fast Reaction
is only used after you've blocked...

Taste of Vitae - combat

* Only counts blood that the opposing vampire burned as a result of
damage. It will not, for example, give blood for blood spent playing
combat cards or stolen blood. [RTR 960124]

Errata has been issued to allow it (not allowing it would not require
errata, but rather the absence of errata):

* The (D) symbol allows the action to be directed at any target. [RTR]

Fast Reaction is "only usable after a blocking minion ... has just
completed combat", so is completely legal after Form of Mist ends
such a combat.

Does the Action continue "as if unblocked" after a second combat from
Fast Reaction, or is the action
cancelled in a way like Psyche does?

From the database:

Form of Mist - Combat (pt)
* Any effect that starts a new combat after the combat that was ended by
superior Form of Mist will nullify the "continue action" effect. This
includes Psyche (superior), Fast Reaction, and Hidden Lurker.
