Hi,
Yes units can only shoot straight ahead but as long as any part of the target unit is in the 'box' it can be shot at with all stands. See Pg 5 photo, had that horse unit had any portion inside the shaded box it could be fired upon by unit A.
The turn a stand to face a flank attack is to give the defending foot a chance, however small, to defend itself. Its not in the core rules and I think it was added later either by Clarence or another player as an errata of rules to try out. If you don't like it don't bother with it.
