Both extensions and contractions cannot be combined with a half turn.
Does this prevent LC and LI from using their free turn, too?
..or is the free turn an exception from this restriction?

Lights get two half or quarter turns (not a single full turn). Thus they can’t combine turns with an extension/contraction (other than ones which might be mandated by a deep formation doing a quarter turn - this is part of the quarter turn I’m pretty sure). Note that a quarter turn from column to line abreast looks very much like an expansion and this might get you what you want - you can wheel the head of the column to change the orientation if needed…

Yes.
