A riding horse becomes frightened 4 and fleeing at the start of a combat. Mounts move the turn of the rider. Does this mean that the first action of the turn has to be a Command you Animal or it flees on the first action? Could the first action be to dismount?

If you have the ride feat and use Command an Animal to move does that mean it won't flee for the rest of the round or simply mean it moves forwards then tries to flee unless you use Command an Animal to make it not fleeing?

Ok lastly if you don't Command an Animal at all, and lets say you cast a spell (2 actions and seek) does the horse not get to flee as you've used your 3 actions already and it's a mount. Or would you cast the spell and the mount flees with a stride action for your last action? How does the action economy break down with a mount and rider?

In general, you should look for a trained pet that is best.

Honestly, I'd rather cast the spell rather than command an animal. Just to clarify, the mounts cannot be considered as minions (unless you have the ability to the ride feat.)
