OpenSSL is only needed if you want Squid to act as an SSL server itself,
not for proxying of outgoing SSL connections using the CONNECT method.

No.

No idea.

I guess it uses the CONNECT method, and in such case maybe you need to
adjust the acls to allow CONNECT to the citrix port. Do you get any
TCP_DENIED in access.log when trying to access the citrix application?
