1. The Jenova Reunion Theory is a theory developed by Hojo which hypothesized that the pieces of Jenova would reunite if they were ever separated. This includes the cells injected into Sephiroth clones and SOLDIERs.Originally Posted by silver highwind
2. Sephiroth's will was stronger. Jenova works mostly through manipulation and deception to achieve a position of power before striking. During his time in the Lifestream, Sephiroth acquired knowledge of the Ancients, including knowledge of what Jenova actually was, and how it worked. He then gathered his will, and faced off against Jenova directly in a battle of wills, defeating Jenova's "mind", leaving just its cells, which he could control.
3. Never fully explained. I've always believed it was Aeris, trying to pick apart the hole's in Cloud's "Zack" persona. I don't think an official explanation has ever been given, though.
4. The Reunion occurs at the North Crater. Sephiroth's true body is there, and he used Jenova's ability to collect itself to draw the various Jenova cells to him, including Cloud. The other clones don't make it because Sephiroth doesn't need them. He needs Cloud to make the reunion because Cloud carries the Black Materia. He doesn't need the others though, and they either die along the way or Sephiroth uses his Jenova avatar to kill them (which likely also allowed him to reclaim the Jenova cells they carried within them). I believe Cloud wasn't executed because he was too strong. Sephiroth's avatar couldn't kill him outright, and his mind, though twisted and nearly broken, hadn't shattered yet, so he had to be played like a puppet, manipulated, rather than controlled directly.
