For Detection Phase success your fleet needs either planes or just high LOS stats. Aircraft carriers have planes and also a high LOS in general, so it's hardly surprising you had a fairly good success rate with Chitose.

If Detection fails your carriers can't participate in Aerial Combat.

SS can't be hit by anything except DD, CL, CVL or BBV with seaplane bombers. And in the case of the Abyssal Fleet only flagship-type CVL (those with a golden aura) can attack them. Air Supremacy has nothing to do with this.

Detection success and Air Supremacy don't have anything to with each other. The former requires planes or high LOS, the latter needs an AA rating that's three times bigger than the enemy's. If you don't have at least one plane with AA equipped you don't get Air Superiority/Supremacy even when the enemy fleet doesn't have any planes.

I'm not entirely sure myself, but if I remember things correctly your fleet's flagship will always try to shoot down planes during Aerial Combat, even if their AA stat is zero. I guess the same applies to enemy fleets.

Air Incapability still gives you a chance to trigger Contact, Air Denial doesn't. Not that it really matters because in either case you're going to lose lotsa planes, unless you're not using any.
