This belongs on openssl-users, not openssl-dev.
I. I don't have the precise information, but I think it likely will
be if it was a project committer who stated it will be.
II. Your guess is as good as mine.
III. If it applies, compiles, and functions then there shouldn't be
a problem. It is always recommended that you use the latest version
though (0.9.8a had a critical security vulnerability in its handling
of RSA key lengths, if I remember correctly).
IV. Does the patch itself have any license text associated? If not,
custom has been to assume that it can be used under the same license
as the library that it is applied to; you would have to ask the
originator of the patch for absolute certainty, but if it is included
in the distribution that distribution version will be distributed
under the same license as the current version in the absence of any
statement to the contrary.
I am not a lawyer, I am not a project team member, I cannot give
legal advice, if you need legal advice talk to an attorney. These
statements are my own and are not endorsed by the OpenSSL project
team, I do not claim to speak for anyone else at all. (and I have to
include this particular disclaimer line because you specifically used
the word 'legal' in your final question.)

openssl-0.9.9.I have few queries now.
I. Will EAP-FAST support will be added in openssl-0.9.9?
II.When openssl-0.9.9 likely to be realsed.
II.We are using openssl-0.9.8a version now. Can I use the patch for
