1) Tugging is mostly done to give additional speed to some slow ship. You can just add a big tanker with the attack group and tell them to go to point 2M from the target. While on the way, use "Balance fuel" while on the way and then "Refuel from tankers" at the dividing point.
That's what I ended up doing. Would have made more if I would have known I couldn't tug the ship though. My math was telling me I would get to the front with around 75%, but it's closer to 60% which makes me a little nervous. Luckily, my tankers are also fuel harvesters, so I can drain a gas giant if things go poorly.
