Weapons that have not been fired are available for the next combat round IIRC. However, I don't know exactly about the algorythms involved when multiplex tracking is involved.

I remember with SEIII you could set the amount of "damage" that each ship was targeted, but I don't think you can w/ SEIV. Too bad - I liked that feature.

I think there is a damage setting. Check the strategies editting window.

There is a damage setting, but Taera says it doesn't work as you might expect, and recommends experimenting with 20% and 80% settings - he says 20% works better.

As of Gold Patch 3 though, multiplex tracking is working rather well. My impression was that no firepower was being wasted as long as targets were available.

And yes, SE3 target assignment is a much cooler system. Too bad it wasn't kept in SE4.
