There is a coalition against me. Saxony is part of it.
Poland is not part of it.
Poland and Saxony are allied.
I plan to attack Poland.
I would like to take provinces from both of them.
Can I attack Poland and make Saxony a co-belligerent, without the whole coalition joining?

NO, the entire coalition will join.

… that said, this will not be considered a coalition war, and you will be able to separate peace them. So it's still something to consider.

No.. if you make them fullco belligerent the coalition membres will join in, but you CAN seperate peace all of them. This is usable to truce cycle them all. Just declaring on ally of coalition member will drag just that member in

There is another thing at the same time: I married Hungary, they have no heir and I might get a PU over them. Bavaria would contest that, so I would have to battle Bavaria for Hungary.
1) Can I get the PU while at war with all the others?
2) Not sure if Bavaria was part of the coalition. Will somebody else contest me instead or what will happen If I am at that coalition war and hungary king dies?

Hungary needs to be at peace, you don't.

If someone contest, he will be seen as the aggressor while the one that's get it the defender. So in your case you'll fight Bavaria with Hungary and your allies on your side.
 
what is a 'remote war'?
i'm about to enter the Age of Absolutism for the first time and have heard about using court and country disaster, but not sure what is meant by remote war and how to use it.

Being at war is one of the conditions to get C&C progress ticking. By "remote war," people mean choosing a small and distant war target that is not a threat to you. This is a good time to declare a no-CB war against, I dunno, the spice islands or something to tank your stability, boost your unrest, and tick the "at war" requirement.
The idea is that you don't want to use a huge midgame war against your rival to start a disaster. That's how you get hurt.

The idea is to met all requirements for C&C while fighting an easy war. So the idea is to find somewhere a small state with bad tech, interesting land and no ally, and no-CB it. A no-CB will probably give you all requirements for the disaster to start ticking, and once the disaster is launched you can conclude the war and have a first province in some interesting area.
 
As an aside, instead of no-CBing a distant guy I like to find someone I was planning on attacking and get military access first, that gives -3 stability (if you have diplomatic) but without any extra aggressive expansion, and you still get something out of it.

and if I am already in a war with the coalition including Bavaria, will another contester be chosen to fight me?

No. The involved nations will drop out of any wars and declare on you. Or you might get union for free if they refuse to contest the succession
 
If the leagues never formed, will the emperor also get the event that proclaims catholicism as official faith around 1625?

or does it need the leagues to actually fire?

situation is that leagues never formed and its past 1610 already, i just wonder if catholicism will be official faith in the end, or if it will stay catholic emperor with various religion electors.
 
In the building tab, are the gains for building anything in annual or monthly values eg. for workshops, temples and manufactories? Also, are they calculated according to current autonomy?

Yes, as long as he hasn't enacted the sixth reform :)

Despite spawning Global Trade, I've found it to spread super slowly, and 18 years later I still don't have it. I've upgraded as many CoTs as possible (including 7 level 3s), but 18 years later I'm still short of being able to embrace it. What's the optimal strategy for large empires to get it quickly?

Every province that has reached 100% progress in Printing Press gains 0.5% per month (i.e. completion in 200 months) progress in Global Trade, unscaled, even if they're 1/1/1 frozen/sunblasted hellscapes.

I did not. The leagues formed in 1650 When i became emperor. Old emperor bohemia flipper. I The n fought league war in 1675 or so. It felt buggy.
