Questions, part 4

3. What defends against the Abbidon's mind control weapon (allegiance converter)? I find it to be hell, especially in the early game.

I use lots of fighters/mines/satellites. They can't be taken over.

9. If you have ships blocking all of a system's jump points is that entire system blockaded?

No. The enemy planets won't like it, and being near an enemy planet may cause them to be slightly unhappy, but the system is not blockaded.
