As far as I know, we still haven't figured out if mounted units can actually dismount, or you just recruit the two separately; my money is on the former being true.

As for the second bit, I believe that they're not faction-specific; they're either Crusade units (most likely), recruitable via a sort of special guild building or some such (possible), or both (unlikely).

2) Will infantry units have any other special formations besides the phalanx-like formation of spear units? (eg. shield wall, etc)
I know of at least the schiltron formation being in. Pavise archers have been mentioned, so presumably there is a "formation" where they deploy those. I don't know about others, but I wouldn't be particularly surprised to see others.

3) Longbowmen...Yeoman Archers? Same thing or seperate units? If so, which is better?

My guess is that they're the same thing; yeoman were longbowman, basically.

Thanks
You're very welcome.
