Do they fly?
Yes. How much depends which quails we are talking about. Some take off like sparrows, some just fly a couple meters.

Do they come back?
No, not a chance. They don't return to their bed at night like chickens neither.

Do they fight?
Yes and no.
Quails are fine if they grow up together. At maturity some will quibble or even peck. However, grouping adult birds is not for the faint hearted. They can peck each other to death.
