What's the difference between the 'Burning', 'Poisoned', and 'Disoriented' status debuffs? I know for sure that Burning and Poisoned deal a damage over time effect to affected teammates and enemies, but is that all? What does Disoriented do?

The survivor of the old war is simply a regular, normal recruit, but wearing an XCOM Enemy Unknown outfit. This is based of a developer's tweet here:
The soldier has a randomized name, will be equipped with "Resistance Warrior Kevlar Armor", and will have a unique bio, e.g.:
A survivor of the old war, Min Ho was a ranking officer within X-Com when the organization fell. He is rumored to have survived the ill-fated pre-war X-Com operation later referred to as the "Kiryu-Kai Disaster".
The mission reward for VIP capture missions is both supply and intel.
If you kill the VIP, you get the supply reward, but no intel.
If you capture the VIP by knocking them out and carrying them to the extraction zone, you will get both the intel and the supply reward. You will see them on the mission loot summary screen with their hands tied behind their back, and they do not appear very interested in joining your cause. Then you will never see them again.

Looking at the XCOM Mod Buddy, there are several statuses that prevent abilities from being used: Disoriented, Burning (Acid is burning too), Carrying Units, Bound, Confused, and Stunned.
Here's the other thing - every single action is an ability, including firing -- but since the game wants you to be able to fire while burning, they added in exceptions for particular abilities and particular statuses. So rather than list every ability that's blocked, I'm going to list every ability that isn't blocked (it's a much smaller list!).
Burning
Disoriented
Poisoned
Poisoned and Disorient aim and movement penalties are defined by the defaults, which I believe correspond to .ini files that I haven't found yet, so if someone knows the default values, I'll happily add those in.
