During the combat phase can a pilot get a focus from another pilot if he can give it after he uses it, even if said recipient of focus is stressed?

I don't know if this question has been asked so if so sorry.

I don't have the card in front of me to check the wording for your actual situation, but in general:

-If a card allows one of your ships to take a free focus action, it cannot do that with a stress token

-If a card allows one of your ships to gain a focus token, it can do that

Stress keeps you from preforming actions (free or otherwise) and red maneuvers, but that is it. Anything else works.

The rules state that when you're stressed you can't perform an action. But if during combat someone gives you a focus token it doesn't say you can't use it during combat.

Correct. Spending a token (focus, evade, target lock) is not performing an action. Actions are performed in the Activation Phase. You can spend any tokens you have during the combat phase, even when you are stressed.
