Under vector movement, do fighters also use vector movement (ie cumulative
velocity)? I'd have assumed so except for the bit about screening fighters
moving with their ship, "even if the ship is moving faster than the fighters
normally could".

Under the new basic rules in the FB, we have kept the abstract
non-vector
movement for fighters to simplify play. If you prefer to use vector
movement for them, then feel free to do so as a house rule - I know
other people do. We could go into all sorts of PSB reasoning why it is like
this, but the honest answer is for playability!

No. They use a similar system to that from MT.
