Answer to question 1 : If you are applying for a H1 again, say YES.
Answer for question 2 :YES only if your visa was cancelled or revoked (means you were given a visa but it was cancelled later for some reason, ex: you move to a new client but dont file H1ammended petition.)
Answer for question 3: YES in your case since your visa was refused.
Answer to 4 : Not sure,
Answer to 5 : If you were employed before, doesn't matter where. Since you are transferring your case, its a YES.

Get help for DS 160. This makes or breaks your case. Also my replies were based on your data, recheck before putting blind faith. Good luck
