I'd probably be inclined to do the underline with a separate node. Either a spline, or another Text+ tool containing only underscore ( ___ ) characters.
2: I have my text attached to a planar transform, so it moves with a house within a panning shot. I want to make the text fade in and fade out again, but I cannot find any way to do that?
In the Merge you're using to combine the text with the footage, animate the Blend control.
3: I would like to draw a line from the underlined and tracked text to the house. Again, I cannot find a way. I made a paint node, but have no idea how to paint with it. Whatever I do, I don't get a brush but I get a red circle with a line across it, the "forbidden" sign so to speak.
I'd do this with a Polygon Mask tool. Create the Polygon, plug its output to the Effect Mask input of a Background tool—this Background is what you'll use to choose the color. Click in two places in the Viewer to create a straight line. The Polygon has some in-Viewer controls. Press the button for "Modify Only." It should look like a plain arrow (no '+' or 'x' next to it). In this mode, you can move the points of the Polygon around without adding new ones. Merge the Background over your existing composite. In the Polygon node, there is a control called 'Border Width.' That controls how thick the line will be.
The Polygon is animated by default, so you can keyframe its endpoint by hand, or you can Publish them by selecting the points in a Viewer and pressing Shift+P. That removes the animation but gives you a Point control at the bottom of the Polygon's control panel for each point. Those controls can then be connected to a Tracker.
I don't know what's going on with your Paint node—that's not a behavior I've seen before in standalone Fusion. I'd have to see how your flow was set up to make a guess. In any case, here is a sample of the things I've described. Just Copy this code (make sure you get
all of it, including the curly braces at beginning and end) and Paste it into your node graph. By the way, that 'Select All' link in the Code window is probably still broken, so you'll have to select it the old-fashioned way.
