A Chinese Win Chung martial artist in a confined space would kick either of their asses. 
As for #3, the Samurais style would be to parry with his sword, as would the knights(though a knight could also have a shield). A tai chi swordsman on the other hand would definitely attempt to evade his opponents strikes entirely. |
You are right the samurai could also win in a closed space, especially if he was trained in nay of these: Atemi, Battojitsu, Daito-ryu, Hakuda (the Japanese form of the Chinese Ch'uan Fa), Hojojitsu (which would be extremely helpful if the knight wields a pike), Iaido, Iaijitsu (a more perfectionized form of Battojitsu), Jodo, Simple Jujitsu, and of course the natural Kempo and Kenjitsu.
Actually i am not so sure about a "Beautiful Springtime" martial artist could beat a samurai, since such martial art is based on blocking using the opponents movement's, and avoids hard techniques. So pretty much, unless the martial artist had created a hybrid between "Beautiful Springtime" and some kind of Jitsu, i think he would be parrying and blocking most of the time. Plus "Beautiful Springtime" is mostly done unarmed, so the martial artist would be in a disadvantage.
As for your comment on question 3, that depends on the Samurai's techniques and fighting styles. If he chose a from Jujitsu, then he would not be blocking, and would be attacking instead. Not to mention if he chose Iaijitsu, then the knight would be in quite a lot of trouble.
PS: Isn't "sticky hands" a Win Chung move?
