1. Yes there are some types of materials that can reduce oxidation of gasoline and extend quality, but chemical anti oxidants (Stabil is a common one) are more effective. 2. Carbon configurations change octane. Unless it can alter the chemistry of the gas, which I highly doubt, then it's no. 3,4,&5. Too many variables here and many companies make these claims which are mostly false.
The EPA has tested several of these "gas saving" products and found most to be snake oils. Fitch falls under the fuel line metallic devices, which they tested. In my book and in the government's testing it's snake oil.
