Why baptism should be by full immersion?
The immersion of baptism is symbolic; it symbolises someone being totally washed by the blood of christ. I think that it is better to have a complete spiritual immersion and it doesn't really matter if baptism is full immersion or not. Baptism is merely a physical desicion that you want to be washed clean by christ so yeah, i dont think there is anything different from a full imersion and a half-immersion.
What does you confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins mean?
It means that you agree that a single baptism is enough for the forgiveness of your sins before that time, no matter what your mental state may be (an infant cannot be in a state of repentance, for example). Some Protestants do not agree with this doctrine, holding that baptism is only a symbol of repentance and faith.

What is the form and the matter in baptism?
The form of the Sacrament of Baptism is both visual and spiritual. The visible part is when the Priest Blesses you with Holy Water and the spiritual part is that you are accepted as a child of God.~D.J.B.~To be in line with the Scriptures, the baptism must be done in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This triune formulation can be considered the form of the baptism.And as a note -It's not just Roman Catholic priests who do baptisms. In Protestant churches Pastors baptize people, and the baptism is valid, done in the correct form.Also, in order to meet the approval of Scripture teaching for baptism requires that the whole body is submerged in the water, not merely a sprinkling or splashing and it is not necessary that the water be considered "holy" water. There is no special designation of any "holy" water for Biblical Christians.

Act 19:3 NIV - So Paul asked, "Then what baptism did you receive?" "John's baptism," they replied. Act 19:4 NIV - Paul said, "John's baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus." Act 19:5 NIV - On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.

Does the Catholic church consider a previous baptism from another faith as valid if that individual as a child was forced to undergo the baptism under threat of punishment?
Any baptism that is forced upon someone else who is in opposition to the baptism is invalid, as the person's dispensation of will is to not receive the sacrament. Sacraments require that the recipient has the explicit or implicit intention to receive them, and if this is missing, the sacrament is either invalid or its graces are impeded from being transmitted. The exact circumstances of the baptism would have to be reviewed, as children are often not in full possession of the faculty of reason until around 7 or 8 years old, which is why infant baptism has the intention supplied by the godparents. If the baptism was valid (say the child was young and just didn't want to be there, etc.) after the above investigation, the Church would receive it as such. The Catholic Church receives any baptism as valid, no matter who the minister, provided the baptism is performed using the proper form and matter (words and materials). This is because the Church recognizes only one baptism, Her own, given to Her by Christ. Throughout the centuries many groups have split from the Church but have taken the sacrament, retaining the matter and form. Because of this they are performing baptismal rites that join their members to the Church of Christ, the Catholic Church, until such a time that these members can reason and personally choose the heretical or schismatic group they have grown up in. Because of this valid baptism, however, when a person of one of these denominations desires to convert to the Catholic Church they do not need to be baptized again, as they have already been implicitly baptized a Catholic. If there is any doubt in regards to the validity of a baptism, the Church through a priest can administer baptism conditionally to remove all doubt.
