The official grade-to-point mapping, how it is applied, and where it comes from.
FAST-NUCES calculates SGPA and CGPA as credit-weighted averages. Its official page states that repeat courses use only the most recent grade points, even if the later grade is lower. A+ and A both carry 4.00 points in the current scale.

No. A+ and A are both worth exactly 4.00 grade points at FAST. A+ appears on the transcript as recognition of outstanding performance but gives no numerical advantage.
Your instructor is required to state the grading scheme in the course outline distributed at the start of the semester. If it is not stated, ask. It materially changes what a given percentage will earn you.
FA is a fail awarded for attendance shortage. It carries 0.00 grade points and counts in your GPA exactly like an F.
Yes. All six campuses follow the same university-wide grading and academic-warning policy. Only the relative curve differs, because that depends on the specific students in your classroom.
