When you respec at 24, you can still take any power from the original tree. Your only locked out of the opposite tree. So a Crab Spider can take wolf spider powers, but not Bane Spider powers.

1) Only from a Hidden state, yes. All Widow 'Claw' melee powers can critical, regardless of which branch you pick, as long as you're Hidden when you use them. Psi powers or dart powers do not crit.
2) Yes. As a NW you'd want powers from the regular Widow melee pool to fill out an attack chain anyway, as well as the Tactical Training toggles and Foresight.
3) Yes. As there is no practical reason to remain a 'regular' Widow (unlike the 'Huntsman' build for Soldiers), most people seem to do this, myself included.
4) No. Mutually exclusive - picking Follow Up will grey out and block Build Up/Aim, and vice-versa.

Actually, Fortunatas can take both Aim and Follow Up. Someone did the math over in the Scrapper forums and it lets Fortunatas barely beat out Night Widows under optimal circumstances for DPS.

Did they factor in the ability to do a double controlled critical with BU+Slash from Masked Presence and then Placate, Slash again? Was BU + Shatter Armor in this equation?

No, since the test was solely about sustained DPS, rather than burst. Night Widows do much better burst than Fortunatas, but Fortunatas, thanks to Aim + Follow Up (and, to a lesser extent, Dominate) have better sustained DPS.

1) With NWs, do they only critical from hide? Do the other widows get criticals also, and if so, with which powers?
2) Can NW and Forts take powers from the widow pool after they respec into NW or Fort build?
3) Is it possible to dual build with one being a NW and the other being a Fort?
4) Is it possible to take Follow-up with Build Up or Aim?
Thanks.
