1. The more I think about it, the more on the periphery I think the resistance would want Laura to be. Sure, they were short on leadership, but Laura is the cornerstone of recovery once the occupation is over, so someone too valuable to risk. I agree with both commenters above that her social role, among students and parents and the community in general, would make her an ideal person to weed out traitors. The question I have is whether Laura would be able to stop herself from becoming more deeply involved. And ... would the cylons treat her as someone who knows more than she does just because of her former position?
2. No, despite intentions, I don't think Baltar had any real power. I don't think Cavil has any regard for life at all, and would do anything, treat anyone as badly as necessary to get himself out of the situation. Laura is far too tempting a source of information. I do also think that there could be dissension in the ranks of the cylons as to prisoner treatment, and Laura might have found an ally or two.
3. As astreamofstars said, I think the circle would have gone on unabated, and there would have been plenty of trials and executions. I can't decide whether Bill would dig in, knowing that Laura would have wanted him to take care of the Fleet. If he does start re-painting the walls in his quarters, then I would look to Lee. He could work with Zarek.
4. This depends on how close they got on NC. If they had a romantic relationship (which, I won't lie, is my fanon) then I do see a more physical reunion. I'm not sure they could overlook two second chances (Laura's cure and Laura's rescue). I do see them then coming to an agreement that they might have to leave behind what they had on NC for the good of the Fleet. That said, I would have been happy with aka_plynn's phone call. At least that would hav been an acknowledgement!
