All the EU-CERT officers are on a retreat in New York. Should CERT get called out, who would assume incident command? Why?

The senior member, or the member with the most experience. Anyone can be IC. It is important for everyone to realize that, and all IC's need to remember the basic CERT rules. Don't do anything out of our scope of practice.

You and your team see a patient stuck in an elevator. The eleavtor is stuck between floors, and the door is only paritally open, leaving only a two foot by one foot space to access the elevator. Is it safe to proceed? Why or why not?

No. There is no way to tell if the elevator is secure, or will start moving again. The team should call an officer or IC.

What does the term "scope of practice" mean? What is EU-CERTs Scope of Practice?

Scope of Practice= What we are allowed and trained to do. CERT's scope of practice includes size up, light search and rescue, basic firefighting, medical triage, evacuations, and running an EOC. It does NOT include running into buildings that are or may be unsafe, or anything that would put you or your patient in danger.
