Can a model that chooses to Stand & Shoot (or Fire & Flee) as a charge reaction attempt to cast a Magic Missile or Magical Vortex?

No. As stated on page 143, models that know such spells can attempt to cast them when chosen during the active player's Shooting phase. Perhaps obviously, this includes Bound spells.

Can a model use a Breath weapon after marching?

No. A model cannot shoot during the Shooting phase if it marched during the preceding Movement phase and, although they work differently to most missile weapons, Breath weapons are a type of missile weapon.

Can a unit that is partially on a hill shoot in two ranks or draw a line of sight across other units that are not themselves on a hill?

Only with those models that are on the hill. For example, if a unit consists of twenty models in two ranks of 10 and only 5 models in each rank are on the hill, only those 10 models can claim the benefits of shooting from a hill.

Can a unit on a hill draw a line of sight across and shoot over another unit on the same hill?

A unit that is closer to the top of a hill (i.e., the centre of the hill or the edge of the battlefield) can draw a line of sight across and shoot over one that is closer to the bottom. Units cannot draw a line of sight across or shoot over units that are closer to the top of a hill than they are.

Some chariots are equipped with large scale missile weapons such as bolt throwers. Who shoots such weapons; the crew, the beasts that draw the chariot, or the chariot itself?

Missile weapons mounted on chariots (or howdahs) are shot by the crew, using their Ballistic Skill.
