I'm not much of a house-ruler. I also don't have my books to hand, so am writing off the cuff.

1. How do you handle automatic fire against targets?
Under V2.2 if a weapon has a ROF of 5, then it can fire 5 bursts of 5 bullets each for a total of 25 rounds. Do you roll 25 to hit dice? Do you roll to hit 5 times and adjust the damage for hits? Are you rolling for each person in the "danger zone corridor"?

Yes, in theory, you roll 25 to-hit dice. Given the stats of the guy above (skill 4 + Str 5, Burst Recoil 5):
1 burst would roll 5 dice
firing 2 bursts would roll 5 dice (10 recoil - 5 Str = 5 lost shots)
firing 3 bursts would roll 5 dice (15-5 = 10 lost shots)
firing 4 bursts would roll 5 dice (20-5 = 15)
firing 5 bursts would roll 5 dice (25-5 = 20)
His to-hit target is (str+skill)/8, so a 1 on a d20. Half of the 5 that are rolled are applied to the DZ targets.
Jim, with an auto-weapon, is only gonna waste a lot of bullets. Get him a rifle with a lower Recoil #, or keep him to short bursts only.

2. How do you handle hand grenades?
Does the player nominate a target point, then roll to hit?
Hit or miss (after determining where the grenade lands) how do you determine damage? Knockdown? Stun? Anything else?

Yep, roll to hit a spot on the map.
I roll for fragments to hit first, then apply that damage and burst effect together to determine knockdown and the like.
