The cooling off period does NOT apply to changing to dependent visa!!

No, tier 2 ICT main visa holder to tier 2 general main visa holder has a 12 month cooling off period.

If you change to ICT dependent visa, you have to have the dependent visa for 12 months before you can apply for tier 2 general from home country

Yes, you can apply for a tier 2 general entry clearance visa from your home country, if you meet the requirements.
