As far as I know, the ability for AI to lead targets was added in XvT, and may have been added in the Windows versions of X-Wing and TIE Fighter. That said, I wouldn't know, since I only have the Collector CD of X-Wing and TIE Fighter.
They definitely only shoot at the target, though, regardless of AI level. I'm not certain, but I think the level of AI affects how often/well they maneuver. Capital ships do lead targets, however, and at all levels of AI.
As far as the TIE Bombers attacking a Cruiser thing goes, I know it can happen in the mission "Scramble!" - T3M4.
They can definitely all shoot the same target, same as when you order all your wingmen to attack a target.
