As of now, the only official "answer" I can give you is when the balance of power has become uneven. In other words, when one faction is overwhelming the other, the Balaur will intervene to level it out. This is most prominently depicted in the G-STAR 2007 Trailer released a while ago.

Or as I stated above, since the castle at first were theirs, will they attack the Asmodians too cause they are trying to take it back for themselves.

Although we have heard about Balaur intervention in Abyss battles, I (for one) have never heard about intervention during castle sieges. Of course, there's a possibility I may have overlooked this.

So yeah lets see what everyone thinks on how the Abyss will be since the second CBT hasn't started yet and it's not really well known

And no, flying is disabled. Each castle has an Aetheric Field (magic force field) around it as a default setting, and it restricts flight around the castle. However, because they can still infiltrate the castle, players can use the Field strategically.

For further information about Castle Sieges and the Abyss, see the articles I wrote here and here, respectively.
