That has to be coded in FRED, like it is in the ending of mission#4.  There are no dock points in the fighter bays, so you need to use an SEXP like "distance-ship-subsystem" on the vipers (just like you'd use for the mag-lock of your viper).

I don't see why not.  That approach should be fine, so long as the ship fits in the landing bay.
