Let's say I take the Brethren of the Dark covenent - a crimson slaughter formation with FNP if the apostle doesn't shoot. Would I be correct in thinking that an attached sorceror would not benefit from the FNP?

But If i take them the sorceror as part of the mega formation (the red onslaught) from a different formation (disciples of mannon) he would get the FNP bonus?

No, formation benefits only apply to the models in the formation, any attached IC's will not receive those benefits, or confere them onto units outside of the formation that they join.

At least according to the current FAQ Draft.

Out of curiosity, does this Formation Special Rule state it affects the units of the Formation?

its one of those all units in formation.

There are formations that apply benefits outside the formation but they will be worded as such. See drone net for an example (all drones in the army, etc.)

Brethren isn't one of those.
