The trot, whether it be extended, sitting, or posting is still a 2-beat gate.
Posting trot.
Another name for the rising trot is the posting trot. This term is commonly used to describe the motion of rising and sitting in rhythm with the horse's trot, helping both rider and horse maintain a balanced and comfortable gait.
The posting trot
When horses do extended trot they extend their front legs extend further and the back legs come under them more. A collected trot isn't quite as big and/or fast.
a working trot is a trot between a collected trot and the extended trot. It should be energetic and have good forward motion, not 'pokey', but should not be 'fast'. Just a good active pace relative to your horses motion.
No you shouldn't, posting(or rising) is only used in the trot or jog :)
A sitting trot in English riding or hunt seat is simply a slower trot in which the rider does not post. The rider takes a deep seat and absorbs the horses movement without posting in the saddle.
This is called posting. When you are trotting your horse in a circle and posting to the trot you should be rising out of the saddle when your horses "inside" (meaning the foot that is inside the circle) front foot is behind and sitting when the foot is ahead. This is called the correct diagonal.

sit deep in the saddle and keep your heels down
If you are riding a "fast horse trot" it could be a lengthened or an extended trot. That is referring to the actual length of stride a horse is making at that trot. "Collection" is the exact opposite, basically, of a fast trot.
