1. Banagher wants to keep the Unicorn away from the members of the Vist Foundation since they were in cahoots (Alberto and Martha Vist) with the Federation high command, who were determined to keep the box sealed. If you recall in ep1, Alberto kills Cardias Vist, who also leaked the information on the whereabouts of the Unicorn Gundam, as well as the secret meeting between Cardias Vist and the Sleeves to the Federation (Thus the battle in EP1).
2. The Feds have always been decent, though their military power usually comes from sheer numbers more than equipment (Though there are exceptions like the Gundam for example). That and with many of the colonies being loyal to the Federation after Zeon annihilated most of the other colonies during the One Year War, assures a steady supply of manpower from both the Earth and the colonies in space.
3. Yes, Bright has authority to uphold the Londo Bell's mission of investigating remnant Zeon rebellions, the very same mission the Titans had during the events of Zeta Gundam, only carried out in a more humane fashion (Londo Bell members include Former Karaba, and AEUG personnel folded into the Federation after the events ZZ).
4. I'm not entirely sure about this one, maybe someone who is more versed in Zeon history (Fox, Jiro, anyone for that mater). Part of it might be the revival of Zeon as a space political and military power (No shortage of the latter apparently). Other than that, they do have the last surviving Zabi, thus assuring their legitimacy as the true Zeon among the rest of the previous Zeon factions.
5. The Sleeves are one faction in the overall Zeon faction. There have been numerous splinter groups after the defeat of Zeon in A Boa Qu, with a universal order for all Zeon forces to retreat. With no common reference point, fleet commanders struggle to get as much of the retreating forces as they can and just leave the battlefield (The Delaz Fleet, Cima's Pirates, and the Axis Fleet are a few examples). Sometimes they help each other out as in the case of the Axis fleet giving the Nuei Zeil to the Delaz Fleet, while at times there are power struggles such as the Neo Zeon civil war in ZZ (Haman's Neo-Zeon and Glemy Toto's Neo-Zeon),
The ones who are left on Earth (Zeon remnants) are pretty much loyal to any Zeon faction that will give them a chance to fight once again.
