N1092 + Surge + A few other questions

QUESTION #1
Sorry to bring up a relatively old topic for a pretty much dead keyword, but I couldn't find an answer after searching the forums.

I play as a turn 0 in my puppet deck (quite effectively, I might add), and he has the keyword "SURGE." I know that surge has something to do with discarding to grow your ninja, but what exactly does it do?

QUESTION #2
A couple of my buddies play weapon, and they like to use as a negate. A typical scenario might be where I use a fun wind jutsu (, for example) and they chain to make my user a standby-- causing my jutsu to fail, my team to be -1, and them getting +4/+4 (if they so choose). Is this situation possible?

As an extension, can Hammer be used to stop the brand new from hopping into my team? ex: activate Father and Mother to jump into a team with Kankuro (who is the only manipulation in the team), my opponent chains Hammer to standby Kankuro. Chain resolves backwards, Kankuro is no longer in the team, Father and Mother fails?

I hate to put so much pressure on the Hammer (I could honestly use it myself, since all puppets are weapon), but if these situations work it sure has some utility!!!

QUESTION #3
Simple one, if a ninja with flashpoint has their effect negated, is flashpoint negated?
