1)
Basicly you'll have a php with combat handling and html/php with player options ...this could be in the same page with combat handling part being on top

So a players choses action by form and sends it to the combat script... it will evaluate that action and immediately handle the mob's action and both results will be listed for player and the choosing form displayed again

2)
In database you'll have actions table like id_player, action, time_finish ... upon loading page you'll take a look there and if there are actions that already happened you evaluate them and delete the row(s)

Downside is - if the check is triggered by the certain player and different player need to list all players in area, it would either display possibly outdated info or you'd need to check all area-changing actions ... or use CRON but that may have downsides... if CRON or not...there are many talks here, use search

3) Pretty much the same... you store last_click time in DB for many purposes* and one will be this regeneration... you'll see how many minutes it's been since the player requested a page and for every one you'll add hp/mana

* others may be unlogging players that hadn't been active, possibly deleting long inactive players etc.
