1) Janna is one of the strongest counters against her. Other champions with disengage are also quite good against her, such as Thresh, Alistar and Lulu. She also have trouble against marksmen with a lot of mobility, Ezreal and Kalista can be a pain to catch. She usually does well against squishy supports that she can blow up, such as Annie, Sona and Soraka. Immobile marksmen such as Ashe, Kog'Maw and Varus can have a lot of trouble against Leona.

Marksmen with high damage or burst are usually good with Leona, such as Draven, Corki or Graves.

2) Mobility or Mercury Treads are probably the most common choices. Mobility really helps your roaming but sometimes Merc is better if the enemy has a lot of CC. Is some rare cases Ninja Tabi or Ionian can be used.

3) You should itemize against your opponents, if they have a lot of AD or if their ADC is fed, start building armor, same goes for AP and MR. After sightstone, boots and your support item you should start building more tanky items, preferably those that benefit your team, such as Randuin's Omen, Frozen Heart or Locket of the Iron Solari. Sometimes Mikael's can be good, even if you the stats aren't what you would want the most, just because of the lifesaving active.

4) This is a bit hard to answer, since it depends a lot on the skill of both your team and the opponents, and also what kind of champions are on both teams. But usually if you can catch a squishy target with your ult and your team is close enough to follow you it's a good idea since you will be able to stunlock them until they die. If you have trouble with your team following you could try pinging when you think an opportunity is about to show up, so that they are better prepared. And if your team is ready don't be afraid to catch an immobile enemy with your ultimate, instead of trying to hit Zenith Blade. Other than that, a good situation to try to pick a fight could be either when you are stronger than their team (more gold, just hit a powerspike etc.) or when the enemy team is out of position or when you have the number advantage. Just make sure you have vision so the enemy don't flank your team when you're engaging.

Something else that might help you is to think what Leona can do with your team. If your team has a lot of poke and don't really want to follow your engage, then maybe it's better to stay back a peel if the enemy tries something. But if your team wants to pick fights don't hesitate when a good opportunity shows itself.
