Sorry for spam in YMDC, quite a few things came up today

Next question is whether an Independent Character with assault grenades allows a unit he is attached to, who don't have grenades, to ignore the assault through cover penalty [attacking at I1].

Thanks in advance.

Depends on the wording. If a model equipped with assault grenades ignores the penalty, then no, it doors not transfer. If a unit with assault grenades ignores the penalty then it would transfer.

Nope, it's done on a per model basis for assault grenades. Things like the DE grenade launcher give a character and any unit he attaches to assault grenades but generally you need them on every model

Just to add a little more info, when a the rule only effects one model it usually starts with "A model that..." while rules that 'transfer' to the whole unit will start like "A unit that contains at least one model with..." or something like that.
