1. Get within 1000 meters or whatever unit the game uses, and hold the alt-key down, and select trade. There's a button for hiring pilots. They'll join you and there's a max of 15 wingmen.

5. Yes. All you have to do is find a carrier with a station nearby, with a hanger. First, at the station, go into the hanger and store your current ship there, and whatever cargo you want there (just bear in mind that I think military ships have a max of 5 equipment slots). That will cost you the cost of your frame, and you'll still have the old frame. Then, fly to the carrier, and trade/build for a military ship. Bam, there you go, your very own military ship that you can swap for your civilian frame whenever you want. Just remember where you're keeping your civilian frame and you're all good.

2. Yes your fleet can mine asteroids. Just press and hold the alt-key, click at "Order" (in the upper part of your hud next to your compass on the left) and give them order to follow you. Now you've got to take them to an asteroid field. Once you're there, you hold and press the alt-key, click at "Order" again and select "Mine Asteroids". Now your fleet should start mining asteroids. How you get profit from that... I don't really have an idea.

Maybe they sell it to you for free when trading with them (standard: F4-key).

3. If you want to replace a station/deployment to another sector then, yes. That's possible. A deployment dissappears when you leave that sector anyway. So just fly to another sector and deploy it there again. If you want to relocate a station you need to have a station detonator. With that device you can destroy your old one and place a new one in another sector.
Could be expensive but... that's the only way I know.

4. With that point I unfortunately can't help you, sorry ^^

1. + 5. Tzimisces already answered correctly.

Can you instruct your fleet to mine a specific mineral? I would love to instruct them to mine platinum.

They give you a cut of their profit. Actually, sending your wingmen mining only yields a (smallish) amount of money, but hey, when you're busy mining the good stuff the tossers can at least contribute to offset their outlandish wages a bit.

I think not. Except if they have special mining beams installed like for example the platinum mining beam. They mine just like you with a normal mining/tractor beam, so they alos get different minerals. If there is a possibility of customizing your wingman's equipment, then it could be possible... but also expensive

Such a mineral-specific mining beam has it's price
