The point on terrain is that teh assault must have at least one unit that is able to fire fight.
Nope, there is zero mention in the rulebook, the only stipulation is that there must be a unit with 15cm, I'm pretty sure this rule exists because there are units in the game with no FF value, yet they are still able to engage (Genestealers vs Wildboyz in FF!)

This makes a mountain of sense, to prevent infantry in buildings calling an assault and staying 11cm away from tanks. Just like shooting, at least one unit must be able to have line of sight and be able to shoot.
(I think this is in the core rules).
Shooting yes, engagements no, it is perfectly okay to engage without LOS or have no units actually able to shoot as above

There is also the matter of what happens when their is a draw and turn two sees no units withion 15cm / LOS, this is covered in the FAQ as going straight to roll off. I think this is pretty much created to cover the situation of an assault where a crit sees a titan stomp off (if the attackers units within 15cm were all killed in the attack it would be stalled) or where all the defenders within 15cm are killed - i.e if you attacked a squad of scouts.
or where both sides are closer to enemy formations than each other and must countercharge away.... it's sufficiently rare that I've never had it happen in the last 6 years I've been playing and attending tournaments
