It may fire IF it was not pinned in close combat.

Example: An infantry unit engages another infantry unit on advance
orders in close combat. Since infantry can pin infantry (as per pinning
rules) the surviving units on advance orders CAN NOT fire in the advance
fire phase.

If on the contrrary the same infantry unit engages a tank on advance
orders, and the tank survives close combat, the tank may fire in the
advance order phase since an infantry unit cannot pin a tank.

These rules are in place to avoid the cheesy ploy of charging one cheap
unit (say an infantry stand) against a large unit (say a titan) just to
nullify its fire.

Correct. This rule stems from the one above so that large units like
titans and super heavies cannot use the cheesy ploy of "hiding" in close
combat with smaller units to avoid fire.
