You *can* be a Citizen while just a communal worshipper, but remember that the way it is written, becoming a citizen is not a matter of just passing a test (or making a successful roll) but proving your credentials. It would generally be expected that a Citizen was a member of the Lunar Way (ie, at least an initiate), but there are always going to be exceptions, such as the tribal chieftain in some newly-conquered region granted Citizenship to coopt him...

They are the same - the information in ILH-1 essentially elaborates on that in Glorantha: Intro.

Illumination is a whole different can of worms - it will be covered in ILH-2, but for the moment you can safely ignore it.

Becoming an Imperial Citizen is a major and serious step - you need a patron, must pay a tithe, etc. Most of the mob will not take this step, even in Glamour, but they will worshop Rufelza as an initiate or communal worshipper.
You canot be a Lunar Citizen without worshipping a Lunar cult, but you can worship a Lunar cult without being a citizen. Citizenship is a political, as well as religious commitment.
Hope this helps.
All the best
