AFAIK, no. I've heard of mods that gave limited movement to bases, but I'm not sure how that's done, either.

2) - I've seen that satellites can apparently be used for remote mining. HOW does that work?

You need to research Satellites 3 to get Large Satellites, the only stock size that will hold a Remote Mining component. Then you just build a satellite and have a Sat. Layer deploy it on the sector to be mined. Only one sat per resource type will work on the same sector. You can recover the sats and redeploy them somewhere else after the sector has been depleted.
