I'm thinking if I can stuff 1 harlequin 5 man troupe and 1 solitare (he can never join a unit) inside a single Starweaver (6 man capacity)
Can the Solitare remain inside if the 5 man troupe disembarks or charges out?
This applys to any faction like Rhinos, or Dark Eldar 10 man raiders, etc.

Unless otherwise stated transports can only carry 1 unit at a time.

Indeed.
Rhinos and Land Raiders can sort of get away with this because of how Combat Squads work, but that's based more on the units' rules and not the individual Transport's. Storm Raven does specifically also list a way to carry more than one unit, but one usually has to be a Dreadnought.
Aside from those snowflake situations, only Super Heavy Transports can carry multiple units.

Note one quasi-exception: you can put multiple ICs in one transport if they're allowed to join units normally, because they join each other to form one unit. However, AFAIK, they all have to disembark together. (Though they could disembark out of coherency - normal IC rules, after all.)

They no more have to Disembark together than with any other unit. Transport rules state that.

So if I have 3 Death Jesters, or say 3 Eldar Autarchs whatever in 1 Starweaver or Venom they can all join together to make 1 squad?
What do you guys think about a Starweaver with 3 Death Jesters flying around pumping out Shuriken 15 S6 AP3 shots?

If the Death Jesters all have the Independent Character Rule (which is different from "Character") then they can all join together to form a "mega-unit" and ride in a single transport. But they all have to fire at the same target, get off at the same time, etc.

They do not have to disembark togethef, as Charistoph pointed out above.

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

Related question to this. If an IC is attached to a squad.. say Harlequin troupes and a shadowseer or Death Jester who is an IC, can at any point they detach from the squad and run towards a different objective?

Only in the Movement Phase can they deliberately separate from a unit. Any other separation requires destruction of the IC or unit.

Yup. All an IC has to do to separate from a squad is move 1 (or 2, I forget) inches away from them in the movement phase.

One notable exception to this is super-heavy transports. They may carry as many infantry units as can fit inside - for example, 3x squads of burnas with meks in a stompa is perfectly legal.
