2 good ones for you:

1) Can you fire weapons from a razorback (or all weapons instead of 2 from a rhino) with astral aim?

2) Does passing the psychic test allow you to shoot your heavy weapons regardless of movement in the movement phase?

no and no
no fire points (plus it says you cant fire into a vehicle) and you cannot move and fire heavy weaopns unless you are relentless

I understand the rules from the BRB. Although, I'm curious because the psychic power says "If the psychic test is passed the unit. . . can shoot at any enemy unit in range. . . " This comes off as an ability to let you shoot when you normally can't. Either way it's not the first time I've ran into an ambiguous rule.

There are restrictions when you fire. You must have LoS, you must be in range etc. Astral aim allows you to ignore the LoS clause but does not over-ride any other restrictions (like firing heavy weapons after moving).

It's not ambiguous at all. Your taking the sentence out of context. If you do this all the time, then yes, you will find many other rules to be ambiguous.

X prevents you from doing y.

By doing Z, you can over-ride X, allowing you to do Y.

But doing Z doesn't also over-ride P,Q, R, and sometimes W.

Using your logic, making that psychic test would let me shoot a unit in another game one table over, during my opponents turn. )

As far as I've seen it you can't shoot from the inside of your transport using Astral Aim. You can obviously unload though and let the unit shoot through the Rhino utilizing it as a shield wall.

You can fire from inside a vehicle within the restrictions of the vehicle's firepoints. (so not from a razorback and only two models shooting from a rhino)
