Sounds just like a defensive feat to me. "I attack the troll, 7 AP." "I turn the blow back." Priestess wins exchange, attacker loses 7 AP.

Yup, pretty much like being defeated by any feat.

No -- when you're at 0 AP, you're unable to act no matter how you got there.
Your final action depends on how you got there -- in this case, you might use Iron Willed or Love <person we're trying to rescue> instead of Tough.

I almost never use feats as unrelated action. They almost always relate to the ongoing contest -- it's a different means of defeating the enemy, so it falls into the switching abilities rules instead.

None I'm aware of, unless it's an unusual power.
