It looks like #1 & 2 were answered pretty well (here's the section of the rules that talks about summoning though if you're still curious: )
In regards to #3 it depends on how you want to deal with it. In general if you are in using an NPC for your own story than you need to OOC request the use of the NPC.
The example you listed there with Judge Dredd is something of a special case just because its a law-keeping situation. If your character is causing enough trouble in Coruscant that Dredd himself needs to get involved than most likely the Story guide will be controlling him for the encounter (just to make sure things are fair) however if you specifically wanted your character brought before Dredd as part of your intended storyline, you could OOC request him and explain your plan, then a staff member could approve it and you could write with Dredd.

If history is to become legend, it first must be recorded.
