1. Exactly what does the winner of the coin toss get to choose? If he chooses to receive, does the other captain get to choose which direction he will kick?

2. Can the winner of the toss choose which goal to defend, and if he so chooses, does the other captain choose whether to kick or receive?

The team that wins the toss can choose to kick, receive, defer their choice until the 2nd half or choose which end of the field to defend. Those are the 4 choices.

3. If Team A is moving east to west in the first quarter, does Team A always move west to east in the second and third quarters and then east to west in the fourth? Or are there some circumstances in which this order can be changed?

They always change between quarters. The team with the option at half time chooses whether to kick, receive, or the field to defend. So the direction a team is going to begin the 3rd quarter has nothing to do with what happened in the 1st half.

4. A team scores a touchdown to tie the game as the clock runs out. However, before they can kick the extra point to win, rowdy fans tear down the goalposts. Can the refs move the extra point try to the other end of the field? What if both sets of posts are torn down? Can the refs stand where the goalposts were and judge the kick? Can they move the point try to a practice field?

Why do you even ask that question?
