	I'll take them in order.

1. Immediately after yelling to be beamed up, Kirk grabbed Spock II, who 
   was unconscious, and took him for the ride.

2. They didn't.  There was only the one remaining Klingon on board the 
   Bird of Prey.  The others had either been killed in the destruction
   of the Enterprise or on the planet.  Kirk simply appeared on the
   bridge weapon in hand.

3. Hmmm.  A little tricky.  Possibly they did most of their traveling
   cloaked (very energy expensive), or maybe there is a special code
   that can be transmitted saying 'this is a captured ship - let me come
   home!'.
