I understood this NPC is capable of striking more than once using whatever skill (i.e. double attack), Am I wrong?

No, that's correct. With EA 2, he can attack 3 times with any limb/weapon. However, only one of these can Rapid Strike. I'm not sure what you mean by Double Attack - do you mean Rapid Strike?

B. If I employ sacrificial parry, do I lose an active defense? (I suppose not, but I think I might get a penalty to my parry on the next turn).
|
The latter; SP "uses up" one of your parries so the usual penalty for multiple parries applies.

C. Which tactics could I employ to boost my defenses/attacks using teamwork? At least two members of the party have “Teamwork: Party” (including myself).
4. The evaluate maneuver sounds good:
A. Can I run, then evaluate?
B. What happens if the NPC attacks me while I am evaluating, do I lose “track”? Will I need to restart?

Evaluate allows only a Step. Active Defense does not interrupt Evaluate. This is all in Basic Set 2.

5. Retreating. I don't know why, one of the players said I cannot "retreat forward" only backwards. I thought I could do it so I always try; but he keeps saying "no, you can't). I will appreciate it if you could clarify this to me.
|
That is true; in order to retreat you must end up farther away than when you started. Martial Arts has a Sideslip which allows you to stay the same distance from the attacking opponent. I don't know of any retreat option that allows you to close distance.

6. I started playing GURPS almost 3 months ago, but I believe I once read that flexibility gives you a bonus to an active defense; have you ever seen something like that?

No, never.
