I'll explain it as I understand it. In the ritual Jane represents Bush Child. If she belonged to the same Tradition as Hench then she would have a Piety relationship of the proper religion. If she worshipped Bush Child specifically then she would have the proper piety relationship for the role.
Or to generalise the proper religion will be the Tradition or Pantheon the ritual belongs to (Monotheists are a bit less obvious - probably just being a Monotheist is enough for many rituals, unless it is something specific to a particular church). Roles on the other hand will be identified with a particular Spirit, God (or Hero) or Saint and if a worshipper of that entity fills that role then the "proper relationship for role" bonus applies

That's hard to say. I would guess that there would have been another roll to determine the damage, if the first had succeeded. (It might be a hangover from an old version - but my best guess involves both old rules and running the ritual as an extended contest, so it isn't that likely)

I didn't notice any.
The time taken for the preparations seems off as well (instead of using the bonuses as the rules say it adds the bonuses and the penalties together)
