Is a unit that is already on the battlefield and is teleported at some other battlefield location, be it by means of a psychic power or an strat, subjected to the reinforcements rule?

How is the Sslyth "cold-blooded bodyguard" rule to be played?

Rule reads "Roll a D6 each time a friendly <KABAL> archon loses a wound whilst they are within 3" of this model; on a 2+ this model intercepts that hit - the Archon does not lose a wound but this model suffers a mortal wound -.

Would the archon get to roll for his PfP ability that allows him to ignore wounds on a 6+ before attempting to pass over each wound? I reckon this ability is very similar to the "cogitated martyroom" IH strat that was recently FAQ-ed but it reads "loses a wound" rather than "would lose a wound", which kind of intimates that the archon would get his PfP rolls.

1. Yes. See the general rulebook FAQ for the long details on this.

2. Yes, the Archon gets to PfP the wound first before rolling to transfer the wound. GW rewrote Cogitated Martyroom to prevent this from happening rather than writing a general FAQ answer that would prevent such things for everyone.

Units that move from one place on the battlefield to another are not subject to the Tactical Reserves rules, so you can do it turn 1.

Yes, you can roll PfP before the bodyguard roll.

1) Any unit that is "set-up" mid turn is subject to the Reinforcement restrictions.

2) As alextroy states, you get to attempt PfP first and then use the Bodyguard rule.
