He caught him off guard, that's how he mortally wounded him. Though in both CC and the original he get's that ridiculous author god mode moment where he throws Sephy in the Reactor, despite Last Order changing that whole glaring fault in the original for the better...
Onto the rest of the questions, which don't need spoiler tags so rest a little easy.
What's Cissnie's name? Is she in 7?
No, she's from Before Crisis and her "mysterious name" is an in-joke cause you can choose to play as her in BC so her name is whatever the player chooses it to be.
How does Cloud forget the brutal murder of his friend and then goes on to imitate him? Was this explained in 7?
This was explained in VII, though Cloud does eventually remember even though VII doesn't have CC's last minute speech from Zack to Cloud, before Zack died.
It's because of the Jenova cells and the experiments Hojo did to Cloud at Nibelheim. He was trying to make Cloud into a "Sephiroth Clone" by making him go through the process that also happens to make SOLDIERS. If the person is not strong willed, Jenova corrupts their minds and transforms them into brain dead puppets, which Sephiroth later used to lead Cloud to him at the Great Crater.
Cloud's mind tries to fight off the influence of Jenova and Sephiroth's will but it leaves his mind screwed up and so he started to merge memories and thoughts together, Cloud spent most of VII thinking he did all the stuff Zack did and even took on many of Zack's personality traits and memories.
(SPOILER)Why are the turks so nice in this game? Tsueg is so...so nice. It's creepy. most likely cause you are on the same payroll, though I never felt the Turks were all that mean to begin with. Despite being the black ops team for Shin-Ra, they were far more friendly and more goofy than their bosses.
I didn't like Crisis Core and I'll leave it at that. It has some great moments but it was really hampered by some really bad elements as well.
