More or less. Yes. The clan wyter may be better at some things than others. Feel free to shift the points around.

Very much yes. My campaign questionaire differed greatly in a few ways.

Any attitude could be taken by the player up to the recommended level. They don't _have_ to take it but most of their clansfolk will have them at about the level indicated.
I usually add in a few feats or magical talents which are native to that clan's history. They may be gained during initiation or just something 'everyone knows.' The Cyrlings have 'Run up and Down Hills,' for example.

That's my opinion - though you may wish to add someting.

Talents come from the hero.
Spells come from the Sorcery World
Feats are Divine
Charms are spirit (lucky charms)

1/10 of amount of the ability, rounding up or down (14 is a +1, 17 gives a +2)
Probably the latter half of this is a bit rules-y. There's a long discussion about augments giong on the Hw-rules list at the moment.
