Horse, none of those three questions can directly measure an individual's degree of adherence to any form of fascism. The ADL might think so, but they have ulterior motivations. Some comments in order:
An issue much more broad than one's political faction of choice.
There are any number of reasons to want to stay out of war.
Another broad question with a variety of answers and motivations.
The founding fathers would have been accused of being fascists today, and in almost every history class, are treated like NAZIs. Yet they were in favor of limiting authority. The Marxists among us do not want government power to be limited.
More than ever we need an authority-limiting sort of patriot who is willing to unhand the implements of empire from those who have seized it illegitimately. But should this succeed, preferably via constitutional means, the constitution itself will need to be scrapped and reconstructed along the lines of the Swiss confederacy. Any Swiss canton may leave the confederacy at any time it wishes, for example.

I always ask left wing loons for one single example of Hitler calling for less government, that usually ends any discussion.

According to Pierce, gun control become less onerous in the 1938 legislation. His argument for this view: the German government did not fear its citizens.
Maybe your loons won't listen, though. Loons I know are divided into two camps: gun control is good and it was only fair that Weimar regulations were strict; and the others who want to believe that the German people were naturally decent and just but were forced to follow their leaders. In this second group, gun control is considered fascist, and must have been far stricter than Pierce argues that it actually was.
This is an interesting point to consider: what other liberties were restored for native Germans during the fascist regime? Certainly the economy was a marvel to the world during the global Great Depression. The threat of communist takeover of the government was greatly diminished between 1933 and 1944.
There must have been other benefits. Otherwise the fascists wouldn't have been so popular before the turning point with the Soviets at Stalingrad in early 1943.
If you watch the history shows, the Germans loved what Hitler was doing with the country. Their lifestyles improved and things were great, until they weren't.
