That doesn't add up to all that much - total support from say 8,000 living Humatki gives an extra two masteries and a million dead ones gives an extra five and a half. Personally I don't think the numbers are that high.

It isn't quite as simple as that, Humakt is a warrior in Sartar but in at least one place he's an assassin and I'm sure there's somewhere he's an executioner. I guess if you confront the whole god you get the lot but you usually just confront the part that appears in your culture.
I'm not sure a god gets keywords at the godlike values, otherwise Humakt would get "Guard Camp" at W10 which would put him on a par with Rigsdal, maybe higher because Rigsdal is a fairly minor god.
The book does say "Best Magical Ability" so I think Humakt would have "Sever Spirit" at W10, other affinities at W8 or W9 and relevant mundane abilities somewhere in the region of W5.

So you confront him when Eurmal has stolen death.

Only if you challenge a god in his area of expertise. If you challenge Humakt to a riddling contest he's going to be on something like 13 with his Truth affinity as a penalty rather than a bonus.
