If you go the homepage of this site you'll find a link to the eventing rulebook.

1) it doesnt matter how many rails you drop
2) not sure, need to read rules
3) depends on how much of the horse was on the inside of the flag
4) any non-modified snaffle (i think)

80% of the horse has to go over the fence for it to count

The rule (re flags) has changed recently - now the head and neck of the horse and head of the rider must go between the flags (section 44). Doesn't sound like much to me, but I guess they know what they're doing.
