if you have mercenary can you still use furious assault if you can make an attack? \Does the restrictions of mercenary stop furious assault?

From the glossary, I would assume that if you can attack an enemy at the start of your turn, you must attack and you cannot use furious assault. If you cannot attack at the start of your turn, you can use furious assault move up to 12 squares even if you get LOS to an enemy that can be targeted when you move 5 squares.

A character must move at least 1 square to use Furious Assault. If a Mercenary hasa legal target at the start of their turn, they cannot move, and thus cannot use Furious Assault.

I'm pretty sure this is wrong. What is the point of giving Mercenaries furious assault if they can barely ever use it? Also, Furious Assault replaces TURN, thus isn't a normal attack move (although it does involve making attacks).
Also, the General Veers/Merc. Commander combination seems to be pretty hard to use if you have to ensure your mercenaries have no LOS to an enemy before you bust out some accurate furious assaults.

In order to use Furious Assault, you must move at least 1 square. If you have Mercenary and you have LoS to an enemy, then you cannot move 1 square thus you cannot use Furious Assault. That is why the Mercenary Commander also grants Deadeye, so if you can't move to do Furious Assault then you stay still and use Deadeye. The whole point of granting Mercenaries Furious Assault is so you can use Furious Assault on your first activation and then use Deadeye on your next (unless you have killed all enemies in your first Furious Assault, in which case you can use it again).

Besides, there are plenty of ways to get Mercenaries back out of LoS so they can furious assault again.

Sometimes having a couple of accurate shooters to back up your merc squad is advantageous. If Mercs with Furious assault weren't grounded by the merc stipulation , they would be nearly unstoppable.

Intuition isn't held back by the Mercenary ability is it? Mercenary doesn't say "on this character's turn", so technically that means the character can't move at all until it can't see an enemy.

No, since Intuition doesn't allow attacks, Mercenary doesn't take effect. That and since Intuition is not part of the Merc's Turn, it's totally legal. As are other ways to move not on your turn - like Levitate, Swap, Tow Cable.
