Federal court jurisdiction depends on the nature of the controversy, not upon who the parties are.
Define the "diversity action" to which you are referring. USUALLY - not automatically or at the defendant's option. If there are state laws which address the same subject, it will have to be litigated through the state court system first, UNLESS the federal circuit feels that there is some major Constitutional issue that entitles it to be litigated in the federal system.
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure § 23 is the general rule for class-action lawsuits, and § 19 (d) is the exception for Class Action lawsuits to required joinder of parties.
The lawsuit involving GN Netcom Inc and Skullcandy Inc was settled in June of 2010. In August 2011 the federal court rejected the settlement of a case involving many lawsuits against GN Netcom Inc and other makers of headsets.

Yes they do. Under Article III, Section 2, the federal judicial power extends to cases where the parties are citizens of different states. This Constitutional provision is implemented by Title 28 United States Code Section 1332. Under this statute, diversity jurisdiction is limited to cases where the amount in controversy exceeds the sum of $75,000 exclusive of interests and costs.
The authority of a court to rule on certain cases is known as the jurisdiction of the court. State courts have jurisdiction over matters within that state, and different levels of courts have jurisdiction over lawsuits involving different amounts of money. Federal courts have jurisdiction over lawsuits between citizens of different states, or cases based on federal statutes.
