Units aren't focused, and they can then engage any other eligible objective.
Does this reaction only work for this objective, or can it be applied to other controlled objectives? (eg. LS wants to attack Imperial Engagements, DS "no you have to 2 to attack")
The reaction can be applied to other objectives.
Does the ability stack if you have two out Tarkin Doctrines out?
Depends. With 2 out, you could choose to resolve both on one attack (since you can have multiple reactions to the same triggering condition), making the opponent pay 2, then pay 2 again. That wouldn't be a good play, though, because the opponent could always not pay for the first trigger and then you couldn't use the second Doctrine against a future attack.
So the reactions initiate simultaneously and they resolve together rather than in turn?
You declare one reaction, then resolve it fully, then declare the next. If the opponent doesn't pay for the first trigger, you don't need to declare the second Doctrine.
Ok, perfect. That's how I understood it. That means that if I wanted, I could require someone to pay 4 resources in order to initiate a single engagement. Would require the right circumstances, but good to know I could do it.
That's exactly how it works, so LS had better make that one engagement count.
That or just pay the cost. LS decks are generally well equipped with resources. I've had to do this in order to win a couple times now against double doctrine and while it is seriously annoying and not to be taken lightly, it is also not as big a deal as it may seem at first. It becomes easier in the later part of the game once you have an extra resource and, hopefully, some mains out.
Just noticed that FAQ 4.8 answers any question about this card, indeed. Double doctrine results in 1 LS engagement per turn. Nasty stuff. Especially with Enforced loyalty or imperial blockade in a deck this can ruin a LS player's win chances from turn one with a good flop.
Any real damage for the LS either will come very slow or very late in the game and with Yularen, imperial fist or thunderflare in the mix, that damage can actually be turned against you as well!
