Yes See Seder Rav Amram Gaon
In Breuer's all fast day selichos are said at this point - EXCEP sheini
hamishi sheini [aka behab]

Selichos during Ellul etc. are said b'ashmores haboker
Selichos on YK are said during all five tefillos during hazaras Hashtaz

2)  Before maariv, it has Shir Hamaalos Hinei Barchu... and Hashem

After Tzeis

b) I thought only chassidim say Shir Hamaalos before Maariv.  Does hardcore

Yekkes dven ma'ariv either immediately after minha - w/o aleinu after
kaddish tiskabal
or after tzeirs afer this shir hama'los. in obth events, the Bar'chu in
ma'ariv follows a kaddish
I speculate that if ma'ariv bizmano were to follow kaddish derbbanan, then
this mizmore need not be said.

Exception on Mo'tsa'ei  Shabbos psalm 164 and 67 precede Ma'ariv w/o any
kaddish




3)  In the bracha of birchas Hashanim, it has the following note:
> Vom abend des 59. Tages nach Tekufas Tishrei an, der entweder auf den 5.
> oder 6. Dezember fallt, bis Pesach wird hier "Tal Umattar" eingeschaltet.

> We all know that in Chu"l you start saying v'sein tal umattar on the 4th

It means the EVE [i.e ma'ariv] before the 5th of 6th.
