Confused Siege Questions

Two questions for the pros:

Q1: For units within a fortress, do they need to be given the "Defend Castle" order for their strength to be used in the repair calculation? Can I give them "Research" or "Forge" orders and still have their strength used in the repair calculation?

Q2: If the enemy defeats my PD in a province with a fortress, yet I still control the fortress, and I move stealth units into the province, will they enter the fortress and add to the repair calculation if they aren't discovered on the turn they move into the province?

TIA for the help!

Any units inside the castle helps with repairing. If you sneak units into the castle you may change them to something else then sneaking and hiding to help the castle. I think you need to do that.

So, it doesn't matter what command I give the commanders, as long as they're in the province with the fortress? This contradicts what others have told me, that commanders need to be given the "Defend Castle" order for the units under their command to be included in the repair calculation.

I guess I could put all the units into the fortress garrison and then tell the commanders to "Research" or "Forge", but then I'd lose the ability to position them on the battlefield and give them orders.
