#2 Moreover, why was it supposedly shot down over the Atlantic Ocean, and its recovery made problematic,

Far from problematic. We knew just where it was at, we recover things like this 9and smaller) all the time, and we could do it in conditions of reasonable privacy and security.

when it could have been captured through routine in-flight procedures, and towed effectively to a defense installation for examination? It could also have been easily compromised in its ability to maintain altitude, without destroying it, and recovered intact.

Please explain in detail these 'routine in-flight procedures".

Stopped reading right there, I'm afraid.

#6 Satellite overflights are permitted under international law. Military aircraft overflights are not. Where do 20 mile high, nominally uncontrolled, balloon flights fit in?
