Stealth Troops

1) Yes. He owns province 11. He can move through it, retreat to it, whatever. It is no different whether you have a large stealth army or just an indy scout, or nothing at at all.

2) No. Stealth plays no role here. The results would be no different if you were attacking both provinces from other provinces with non-stealthy troops. Retreating is resolved after all battles are over.

A ritual magic attack - teleport or Call of the Wild/Wolves etc - is handled separately and before any normal battles. So, if you teleported an attacker into 12 and won his troops would retreat to 11, since that battle hasn't happened yet. There wouldn't be a second battle though. His retreated troops would join the defenders when you attack.
