1. Mountain Men don't have satellites since the Ark scavenged them all decades ago. The Ark didn't have a reason to send signals that reach Earth, so it's unlikely that the Mountain Men could have picked up signals from such a distance. They probably didn't even know about the Ark's existence.

2. The Delinquents' dropship ran into some interference – it's possible that it could have been caused by Mount Weather. It's also possible that the dropship had a rough ride and they're using tech that's a hundred years old.

3/4. It's unclear why the Mountain Men waited to pick up the kids. It's also unclear why they hid from the adult Arkers, don't try to pick them up, and lie to the kids about the adults' survival. Supposedly, they wanted the kids to increase their gene pool – why wouldn't they want the adults too? It's unclear why they jam signals in general, since before they knew of the Arkers, who besides them were using any signals? The entire Mountain Men arc, from season one to two, is just full of plot holes.
