I'm assuming you mean that you have 2 stars in longsword weapon ability... (there is one +2 longsword in the game, but why you would then give your character a +1 longsword I can't figure out

)
Anyways, if you dual class, do
not put any stars into the same weapons as you had previously. They will simply be wasted. When you regain your fighter levels you will still have only 2 stars.
As far as your stat points, it really doesn't matter that the NPCs don't have the maximum points. You can finish the game with any combination of characters. If you want to powergame and create a group of unrealistic characters, it's your game, have fun with it. I recommend having imagination and trying to role-play a little bit. Play around with the NPCs, they are actually quite fun and who cares if they don't have 18's!!!
