Well, first beat Rayquaza (all that good stuff) then return to Mt. Thunder. There, you MUST have your beginning character and a YELLOW GUMMI. Then, when Zapdos appears in front of you and says "I challenge thee" or whatever it was, run back many steps, away from zapdos. Then, throw your yellow gummi at him (pray he catches it) and start attacking him. That has a 80% chance of working everytime and if for SOME reason it doesn't the first, turn off your DS and go back to the Mid point (where you really should have saved it). Voila, you have Zapdos. This works on all the other birds too just you need to have their appropriate gummis. Another thing, it's a good idea to evolve before going to face him (because that means you'll be stronger and more likely he'll join.)
recruit articuno zapdos and moltres
after you recruit zapdos, articuno, and moltres.
Recruit all 3 birds - Articuno Zapdos Moltres then go to their friend place and the event will activate.
after you beat rayquaza go to mt thunder and kill it a few times and then hell join your team and he also unlocks legendary island.

You can't recruit Pokemon in Tiny woods
You can't recruit any Pokemon at the Makukita Dojo.
Yes you can
I believe if you look at red rescue team it is the same.
it depends, if your playing red rescue team then no, i would guess the same rule applies to blue rescue team though.
Zapdos can be found on Mt. Thunder, Peak (3F).
