Rear quarters tend to be more tender. In beef cattle, brisket comes from the front and sirloin from the back.
Ice crystals may form in beef when it's frozen but they do not make it more tender. In fact, the ice crystals may be an indication that it is frostbitten, and it will not be as tender as it should be. Food should be wrapped as tightly as possible, with as little air as possible.
Chateaubriand is the most tender roast beef cut. It comes from the middle of the beef fillet. Cote du boeuf or rib of beef is considered to be the best roast beef cut because it has much more flavour than fillet steak and is still extremely tender. A Chateaubriand is actually cut from the head portion of the beef tenderloin, and is traditionally hand tied to retain its shape during cooking.

There really is no difference between Angus beef and "regular" beef. Pure Angus beef may have a bit more marbling to it and be a bit more tender, juicy, and (to some) be more bland than "regular" beef, but in reality, a Shorthorn or Speckle Park steer will often have the same sort of marbling quality.

Kobe beef is hand massaged for tenderness as well as hand-fed to ensure a certain fat content too.
Well, it's more to do with diet and age of the animal than movement. Grass can make beef strong-tasting, as well as the age of a cow versus a younger steer. Grain, on the other hand, tends to add more fat and more marbling to the beef, making it less stronger tasting and a bit more tender and juicy.
