Not sure what you mean by single connection. If you mean an application
connection, e.g. a file transfer, then yes, it will always remain on the
same link. With FEC, the physical link used is determined by
  srcip XOR dstip
or
  srcmac XOR dstmac
Since these do not change during a session, the session will always go
over one link.

This is not possible, unfortunately.

No idea, sorry.
