If you were controlling the EC, then it is your choice whether a weapon that you played in battle gets to go back with him to territory. Normally all enhancements are discarded from battle at the end of the battle.

If you band to an opponent's character that already has a weapon (that he placed there), can you choose to discard that weapon at the end of battle?

I don't believe this is correct.  Once in battle, a WC enhan is just like any enhan.  The only difference is that WC enhans can be placed on a WC Character outside of battle and that they stick during battle resolution.  You get the same choice of weather to keep or discard a weapon after every battle.  And if a second WC enhan is played during the battle, at battle resolution you get to choose which to retain (or even to discard both).  That's how I always thought it was played.

Yes.

just to clarify, you can only transfer the weapon if the first character is defeated

from the rulebook:  Weapons may not be exchanged between characters and may only be moved to another character in battle if the holder of the weapon is defeated and another warrior-class character is in battle and able to hold the weapon.

regarding keeping a weapon, you may chose after each battle whether or not to retain the weapon on each warrior that you control.

from the rulebook:  following battle resolution when enhancements in battle are normally discarded, a player may decide to keep the weapon-class enhancement on the surviving warrior.

Looking back to the rulebook, all the battle resolution possibilities list the characters returning to territory and then the enhancements being discarded.  Once the character returns to territory the original owner regains control and would therefore control whether the weapon is discarded or not.

So specifically, if you band in a warrior class character from another player and by the end of the battle there is a weapon on that character, the character returns to territory and the original owner would choose whether the weapon stays (even if the weapon came from you during battle)
