All of the above. A chancery court is also called a court of equity. There were courts of law and courts of equity. The courts of law determined guilt and imposed punishment on the strict letter of the law, while courts of equity took into consideration such things as the sex, age, mental state of the accused. The motive for the act, the overall harm done, etc., in determining the punishment. Chancery courts made rulings on all sorts of issues.

The same thing Chancery Courts focus on today, non-equitable relief (protection of property rights, etc.), I would assume.

Any of the above.

Chancery courts resolved matters in equity, by injunctions and orders mandating certain activity. Any of those could potentially be grounds for issuing an injunction, including B (replevin).
