Your best buddies here are Groupchat, vehiclechat, sidechat and globalchat

The syntax for all three is basically this:
CODE
SOLDIER sidechat "Hello world!"

(Where soldier is the name of the unit that is communicating.)

The difference between the four commands should be pretty obvious, Groupchat will cause a soldier to send this message to all units in their group, vehiclechat to all units in the same vehicle as they are (useful for helicopter pilots communicating with crew or cargo), sidechat will talk with all units on that side, while globalchat talks to all units on all sides.

You can also do this with the sidechat and globalchat commands:
CODE
[West,"HQ"] sidechat "Hello world!"

Which will result in a message being identified as coming from "crossroads".

Unfortunately not. You could try having a non-player unit designate the target from a position the player won't see. (I hear it's difficult to get the AI to use Laser's though...)

Alternatively you could try a pack which includes invisible laser targets, but in my experience these don't work too well. If at all.

Try using the OPFOR targets instead. I think this might be the issue.

What dave said, there are one or two basic airstrike scripts kicking about you could also adapt with a bit of tweaking.
