1. Basically astreamofstars answer above. Coordination of escape plans/information and strategy were likely where she fit.
2. I think Baltar wanted to protect her, but as for actually getting the Cylons to go easy on her? I doubt he had the ability. I think any influence he tried to exert was probably laughed off.
3. I think Bill would've resigned before working with Zarek. I don't think he would've overthrown him, though it might've been tempting, but I don't think he would've ever been able to work with him.
Who would've led in his place though? Not Saul, who wouldn't have had Bill to threaten him out of his post-NC depression (because Bill would've been his own wreck, I think). Is Helo next in line? Would the man married to a Cylon been allowed to lead the military?
4. I think they reunited by phone first. Laura went up on "her" ship, and they both had so much to deal with in those first few days that I don't think an in-person meeting happened for at least two days.
But there was a call while they were high-tailing it away from New Caprica, just an "I'm here" really, and I wish we'd gotten even that.

I agree, and I think his own well honed sense of self preservation would have gotten in the way of any help he might have intellectually wanted to provide.
3. THat's an interesting question about who would lead. I assume since there was no challenge to Helo being an XO (and thus second in command) that there would be no objection to his commanding (though this would be more obvious and might create more uproar). It might have to be Lee, as someone who could bridge both civilian and military.

Oh yeah ... I wonder if Dee would have stayed with Lee longer? Wait, she left him over his treatment of Laura on the stand. Guess that wouldn't happen in this scenario!

Let's be real, if Lee had ended up in charge it would've been Dee really running the Fleet.
