My strategies for your reference:

1) Hardly a problem. Unless your ships are severely underlevelled with deficient ASW. I've thrashed sub fleets in the lvl 100+ bracket with ships almost half their levels, with decent ASW equips. Line abreast + sonar/DC combo and you're set.

2) No point fussing over this. There are some days like that. Just move n.

3) Oh boy I actually like this 'fun' composition. What I do is get my 2 strongest CVs (Kaga + Akagi), equip them with Reppus in their 2 highest slots, 1 Saiun to avoid the T, and either divers/torp bombers (your choice). The rest of your fleet can be a combo of 4BBs/3BBs + 1 CLT. Equip your BBs with 2 red guns, 1 sanshiki and recon planes. Your best torps on your CLT. Choose Diamond formation for boosted AA defense, or if you're feeling gutsy, Line Ahead. Now watch as your opponent's planes get decimated during air combat phase. You may not win AS+, but you have BBs + CLTs on your side which can wreck their shit. If you managed to scrape AS, let artillery spotting make short work of their CVs.

4) Uh....use a full sub fleet. If you remodeled Hachi and/or Goya, equip them with your strongest torpedoes, and let them wreck the BBs at night battle.
