**** It would be logical and perhaps Sarek did request it. Maybe it was just going through red tape and Kirk sailed off before the request even made it to Grissom.

** Also, there presumably wasn't any real secret to protect (assuming Genesis couldn't be reverse engineered from the planet). That Starfleet (apparently) had destroyed that nebula was quite widely known. Just because travel there was banned doesn't mean it was enforced militarily. There's plenty of real world crimes that aren't prevented by force.

** That's quite a compound question. I doubt Scotty was really "expecting" the ship to go on a mission at all. The ship was limping back to Earth and most of the trainees were removed. He was likely reverting the ship to a non training configuration and automating more of it due to reduction of personnel. And it was probably busy work more than a serious effort.

** The Klingons' "we will die before being captured" may mean they don't even bother with a countdown. The concept may be completely foreign. Perhaps Kruge was more aware of it and/or made an intuitive leap.

Adding info in the novelization and movie of ST 4 as to what Sarek did for them - all crew were offered asylum.
Added DiffLines:
** The novelization of ''Film/StarTrekIVTheVoyageHome'' has Kirk claiming that Uhura has been given asylum on Vulcan and the rest of the crew are able to take advantage of the same offer. The movie infers it when Kirk takes a roll call and then has the record show that the crew had chosen to return to Earth. So the answer is, the entire crew could have lived out the rest of their natural lives among the Vulcans and never received any punishment from Starfleet for their actions.
