At the start of a game an IC joins a squad that is mounted in a vehicle. On turn 1 the vehicle moves 12" and the squad debarks. Can the IC remain in the vehicle and not be part of the squad anymore? If so can the IC use said transport as his personal vehicle, or just sit in the vehicle as sort of a bunker?

Page 67 of the Warhammer 40,000 5th edition rulebook, second paragraph under the heading 'Independent characters embarking and disembarking' should have the answers you're looking for.

I'm pretty sure Ghaz's directions are correct regarding most of your questions, but the last one I'm not so sure on.

If so can the IC use said transport as his personal vehicle, or just sit in the vehicle as sort of a bunker?

I can only assume you ask this because you still have a little bit of 4th edition dedicated transport rules mixed in with the new stuff, but a dedicated transport in 5th just means that only the squad it was bought for can start inside it, not another squad (unless it's an attached IC obviously), so once you have started the game it is just a vehicle with a transport capacity and anyone can be transported in it.
