It says in the rules you get all the god's affinities under the keyword if you start as one..

It also says, that when you BECOME an initiate you get 1 of the affinites when you join.  

When you are a devotee, you are allowed to purchase the feats. When you are an initiate, you must ALWAYS improvise feats.

Yes, all feats are at teh same level as teh affinity. That is why they (like the combat skill) are in a bracket. I would suggest looking at some of Wesley's sample characters as they are very well laid out and explanatory.

I suggest you might want to look at the section entitled spending hero points and teh section called 'initiation in play' which is in the keywords.
