They are abreviated and short. They are, afterall, NOT the full game but a taste of it.

A feat is a particular kind of magical act with a magical affinity -- similar to a specialized combat skill (eg, each of the Humakti Magic Affinities (Combat, Death, Honour) have specialized Humatki type feats. Orlanth and Zorak Zoran, who also have Combat as their Affinity would have entirely different feats. But, frankly, I do not think that I will go into that here. Check the Hero wars information on the Glorantha site and read it, please? It should answer the majority of your questions.

Sigh. These are the default levels. Yes, there ARE tables, yes, as I think has been mentioned before. Specific keywords have specific levels of skills.
