1. What happens if a BG that is fighting in cc in its front and its rear routs?

If there is room to turn (i.e. the routing BG is MF) then they do so and squirt out at 90 degrees. Otherwise they don't move. Because they have been unable to complete their rout move because of enemy they are removed at the end of the phase.

2. Can a routing BG that is no longer in contact with an enemy wheel arount enemy bgs?

Nobody can wheel around enemy BG's as a compulsory move - you can either shift upto one base sideways or drop a file. If you can't avoid enemy by these means, then you stop an inch from them and are removed from play at the end of the phase.

You would make your variable roll and the one that moves quickest goes first to chase the enemy - often, they don't need to move to maintain contact depending upon how far the enemy gets. They can wheel to follow.

can they turn to follow? because wheeling wont be possible most of the time

No - they drop bases back. If they can't make contact because other stuff is in the way then they don't maintain contact.
