In respect of order 2: If you set Passengers Dismount, they will do so at the beginning of the order not at the end. In other words will go on foot and the vehicles will come along

From the manual: 

"This option tells infantry carrying vehicles to Dismount its passengers or keep them Mounted. Keep in mind that this option is activated BEFORE the designated Map zone is reached! If you want to dismount after reaching a map zone, you will need to create one Order for getting there mounted, second order (with or without a Map Zone) to dismount on location."

 

The dismount will take place when the vehicles reach the painted order point.  I've done it hundreds of times in the game itself and never had it work as described in the manual.  Go ahead and do it in the game and tell me how it works out.

The only thing you need to keep in mind is that the vehicles will remain at the dismount order point only for a short time unless you delay their move to the next order point and if all the passengers haven't dismounted by the time the vehicles move to the next order point then they will remain mounted until the next order point is reached.  At that time they may attempt to dismount again even if no dismount order is assigned to that order point.
