Double Checking if I understood it Correctly -
Feint has become something like the Attack Maneuver - So it can be made as part of a rapid strike.
No, Feint has become like an attack (little "a") as of Martial Arts, so best to pretend Feint is no longer a Maneuver, and just an attack technique. As an attack technique, it can be part of a rapid strike.

No again. Ready is still a Maneuver. Though certain ready-s of course can be trained to do in zero time as a Fast Draw, but only certain weapons and small items can benefit from this kind of training.

If you first fast-draw your weapon in zero time with a successful fast draw roll, you can then spend your Maneuver Aiming or Evaluating. (and Ready is not a subclass of attacking, it is it's own Maneuver)

Yes. And you need to fast draw first. If you fail your roll, you are automatically taking a regular ready for the turn, and if you succeed, you can do whatever you want.

I don't think so.

Again Ready is not a special Attack option

Kind of, you can fast draw and attack, if you rapid strike after your fast draw, you can then feint and and attack as your rapid strike, but I think I would just feint and then rapid strike the next turn so both attacks would benefit from a full skill feint.
