An interesing quiz, Officer Torch! I will get things rolling by trying a couple.
1 and g. Suzanne Pleshette was a schoolteacher in Hitchcock's The Birds (1), and was Bob's wife Emily Hartley (also a schoolteacher) in the 1970s Bob Newheart Show (g).
3 and b and c and d. The cast of Jaws (3) included Robert Shaw (b) as Quint, an old shark hunter. Roy Scheider starred as police Chief Brody (3), and was also in the movie 2010 (c) a sequel to 2001 A Space Odyssey. 2001 included the Super Computer (d) HAL, and I think the sequel 2010 did as well?

Robert Shaw was a great actor. This was the first movie I saw him in, back in 1975. I went and saw it countless times. I recall when the film was reran on TV, most of his death scene was cut out at the end.
I went and saw all the films Shaw was in after Jaws; The Deep (1977), Black Sunday (1977), Force Ten from Navarone (1978) and Avalanche Express (1979).
He suffered a heart attack when 'Express was being made in 1978. He was 51. It was released in 1979, after his death. Shaw was a heavy drinker. I was saddened. I went to see the film and he was in a good part of it, but not all of it, due to his untimely death. Lee Marvin was also in it.
Shaw did a great job as Quint. Very charismatic. At the time I saw Jaws I didn't connect him with the actor in From Russia with Love (1963) at all. It wasn't until some time later that I realized they were the same.
