IP when leaving a firm

I am a quant PM in a MM shop running a global book.

I have resigned from the firm. In the contract, there is a part where I need to leave my IP.

Q1. What happens if I am not cooperative - e.g., they ask me to explain every single process, alpha, and steps. The contract says I need to leave my IP but it does not say anything about explaining them one by one. Can they take legal actions for me not being cooperative? But again, I am leaving all code, data and signal.

Q2. I want to sue the firm for not delivering what was promised. Can I still sue them despite these not being in actual contract? (e.g., verbal and in trails of emails)

Appreciate your thoughts.
