Checking the rules, it seems you can attempt to Rally (pg. 55) during the Extended Melee Phase. It states that "...if engaged, then he must win the regular melee phase..."
Yes. Note that attempting to rally during a Combat (extended melee) Phase is not preferred. It had better be truly an emergency to attempt it, or you'll just throw your life away.
Get out of Combat to try it.
Do you still determine Unit Victory Results (pg. 49) with 'Alone' units? Does this mean that a success is automatically a Triumph (because that is a win by 'everyone' in the unit)?
No. Never. Page 49, right under the box, is correct: "If ... the unit is made up of only a single individual, then it has no chance of Triumph."
In fact, a man Alone has no chance of ANY Unit Victory Results.
Assuming the knight "wins" his regular melee phase, it states to Rally the knight must survive a 2nd melee against that same enemy (done during the extended melee phase? ). After that, if he succeeds/crits his Rally roll, he has additional knights by his side. Does this mean he can remove his 'Alone' status (I think 'yes', obviously) and/or his Broken unit cohesion?
Yes, page 55, Rally roll Result, both Critical and Success state "if he was alone, he is now a unit commander."
