No. See the Sabbat Rules sheet. Despite the similarity in name,
Gangrel Antitribu is nothing to do with Gangrel. They're not the same
clan at all, and, say, Consanguineous Boon or Con. Condemnsation won't
count them either.

No. He would go to torpor during the Damage Resolution phase. It's
only after that that he gets to choose to play additional strikes.
Since he's already in torpor, he can't choose to play them.

The point is moot. The Brujah goes to torpor from the Cauldron of
Blood. It is only after the playing and resolution of that that he
could play the Blur anyway.
>3. Vampires in torpor - If a vampire is in torpor and untapped and another

Only a vampire taking an action becomes tapped. Rescuing from torpor
will not untap a tapped vampire, but it won't tap an untapped vampire.
For instance, I begin my turn with Sheldon in torpor and Duck out of
Torpor. Both untap (start of my turn). Duck rescues Sheldon. Duck is
now tapped, but Sheldon isn't. If Sheldon is on 0 blood (say, he
already was or Duck forced him to pay some of the rescue cost), he will
hunt - but that's nothing to do with the rescue. He will just take a
normal hunting action.
If he has blood on him, when he comes out of torpor, he's free to take
any other action he likes (not just hunting, due to the rule on 0 blood
forces a hunt). So it could go:
Duck on 3, Sheldon on 9. Duck rescues Sheldon. Take 2 blood from
somewhere between them (the special rule that allows a diablerie rescue
cost to be split). Then, because only Duck took the action, Sheldon can
do what he likes. He could bleed, or equip or whatever else you want
him to do.

>TOP of the 3 bleed it gets from Pulse of the Canaille?
Ah. The Jyhad text gives it 3 bleed. The V:TES and Sabbat text gives
it +2 bleed, so the question is moot.
You get +2 bleed from the Pulse and +2 bleed from, say, Arika's built in
extra bleed, giving her a base bleed of 5.
The aggro with deciding when something reset a value and added to it
"re-wrote" these cards in the reprint. However, when you get into a
situation like this, it seems that the card that was last played which
resets a value comes into effect and then anything which adds on top of
it comes later - so, Bianca (+1 hand damage (again, changed from the
Jyhad wording of "2 hand damage")) choosing to play Torn Signpost at
superior (I've given her a skill card) works like this: Set hand damage
to 3, and then add Bianca's modifier.
So reset the value first, and then add on top.

No. They're not a Prince or a Justicar so they can't. (In V:TM, it
might be possible, but this isn't V:TM, so no.)

Chantry, for the Tremere.
