1. You have to have herbalist for starters. Next the footman has to go to bed. then the herbalist will use bandage/healing item to heal unit in bed.

2. Once targeted they don't seem to let loose. However the only work around is to put down a defend flag for that individual, then they will do what they need and defend that area. Spotting range is 60 blocks roughly, I think. It is questionable whether a bug or not that they pursue enemies agressively even if enemies is only stationary in a certain area. Unsure on last point, but a defense flag could help to make them go to bed, as long enemy not within that defence area.

The closest I think I've ever been able to get to canceling an attack has been to select my nearly dead footman and manually issue a "move to position" command. Well several actually since once they move to said position they will reinitiate the attack.

Manually jogging them around seems to give the cleric enough time to heal them and the Knight tends to regain aggro as soon as the footman is far enough away that they can't attack.
