Since ALL FIDE laws apply, I would say the answer for the question is 
most likely the following:

1: Fifty move rule, the stalemated player gets to roll the dice and if 
the opponent's roll or one's own removes stalemate before the opponent
manages a checkmate then the game continues otherwise if it is still a 
stalemate after fifty moves then draw (probably extremely unlikely)

2: This is a tricky one, most variants would probably say that definitely
double step allowed for a2 but a1 I'm not sure, though I think it 
probably should be allowed

3: I think that should be a yes

Hope we'll have adrain's take soon
