Tried to find the answer in the errata, but didn't see it...
When using superior FoM, does the blocking vampire remain tapped or do
they untap? The card says "...may continue action...as if unblocked" AND
"This action may still be blocked".

Card text says or implies nothing that would indicate that the blocker
untaps. He has blocked successfully, and so is tapped. Acting vampire
continues to act "as if unblocked," but that phrase only emphasises
the he was in fact blocked.
The action can still be blocked, but not necessarily by the same
vampire. Of course the same vampire could block using Wake with
Evening's Freshness.

Correct.

Correct - and the original blocker could still block if the
he had played a Wakey in the first place - i.e., the Wakey would
still be in effect, allowing him to attempt to block (again)
as if untapped.
Or, if the original blocker didn't tap in the first place (Justine,
Atonement) or untapped on the block (Cat's Guidance) or untapped
as part of the strike (Majesty, Earth Meld) then he could again
attempt to block as normal, since he's untapped.
