Now for the first question.First:  Tail Sweep is an immediate reaction, not an opportunity attack or other opportunity action.  You know this, because it says 'immediate' and does not say 'opportunity.'  This is an important distinction, because a being only gets one immediate action between their turns, but can have multiple opportunity actions (one action per other being's turn.)The Fighter's Combat Challenge does not care -when- an attack by the marked creature happens.  It only asks:1)  Is it the Fighter's Turn?  If yes, no Combat Challenge attack can be made because immediate actions are never taken on your turn.2)  Have I used an immediate action already?  If yes, no CC attack can be made because you only get one per round.3)  Is the enemy attacking but not including you as a target? If yes, CC triggers.If an opponent uses an immediate action or opportunity attack to hit your buddy, and it's not your turn, you can get that whack in against the monster, unless you've already done so this round.  You only get one tho.</blockquote>
