If it was to get changed it would not be soon.

With sweeping you must make the second attack if you have another legal target. This second attack is not optional.Is this the intent?
All Reanimation effects occur at the end of the round, but Animate Dead is not a Reanimate effect. Eternal Servant and Rise Again are Reanimate effects and would work as you described.
Animate Dead is more akin to Resurrection and works like that spell, and like a normal summon, bringing the creature into existence immediately and inactive.
Any more news on this? It looks really exciting! Does anyone have any idea of a general time frame in which it might be released? Sometime next year maybe? Is it going to be part of the battlegrounds series of expansions?
The rule is that when a creature is subject to a mandatory action, such as Taunt or Bloodthirsty, they must perform that action IF ABLE TO. If they are unable to perform that action, then they are not subject to any restriction and can perform any action they wish. This is on page 11 of the Rules Supplement.
In your example, they are unable to fulfill the Taunt requirement due to being restrained, and thus may perform any other action they wish. Unless they have a ranged attack, in which case they'd be required to shoot at Thorg while they sink.
