Ugh... bad faq. FAQs should never outright change the meaning of the text, that's errata.

Correct but irrelevant. Recovery from stun occurs at the end of a turn of Do Nothing.

Sure. If there's an explicit alternate method, that's also available.

That actually has no mechanical effect, because a character who is not in combat is considered to normally be taking the Do Nothing maneuver, so it's effectively the roll at the end of their prior turn of Do Nothing (this does apply that if you stun someone who is currently taking Do Nothing, they can recover at the end of their current turn).

Only the requirement to take Do Nothing on your turn. There does not actually seem to be a rule against a Wait triggering an attack while stunned.
