1. Can I make a rescue attempt with a hero sitting in Judge's seat?

2a.  Can I add/remove a disciple from fishing boat before battle? 
2b.  Can I add/remove a disciple from fishing boat after battle?
2c.  Can I add/remove a disciple from fishing boat multiple times before/after battle?

3.  If I have Wheel within a Wheel on AUTO and I exchange AUTO with a judge in my deck, would Wheel within a Wheel get shuffled into my deck as well?

For 1 and 2, you can exchange eligible characters as much as you want (as permitted by the card) with fortresses during your prep phase.  Unless there are specific conditions that let them leave during other phases (like Tower of Thebez), they stay there until your next prep phase.

As Chronic said though, you may band from a fortress in your territory (unless the card says otherwise).

Placed cards like WWW follow the character they are placed on wherever they go (hand, deck, discard).  I believe they are discarded when a character is captured, but hopefully someone can confirm or deny that with more certainty

Placed cards are not discarded, that's weapons.

The burden of proof is on saying they are discarded. No rule indicates that they would be discarded.

Possessed.

But the burden of proof still does not lay with our position. Weapons are different than placed cards, it's like saying if you have two of a unique Hero and one is Discarded, prove that you DON'T have to Discard one Enhancement when you play two of the same one in battle.

There isn't a bottom-up rule. Placed cards stay on and follow their hosts. There is no rule that makes an exception for capture.

There was a discussion about changing this to be the same as for Weapons, but it was never resolved or announced. So until such a decision is made, Pol is correct.
