1) There is a spell called magic screen that makes it more difficult for spells to attack you. I don't know if this affects breath weapon affects. I kind of doubt it. With 100 piety, characters gain the Iron Will skill, which gives them resistance to all kinds of things.
2) I don't have a character that high yet, but I think so.
3) I think you only get one spell per level. You can save them up if you don't like your current choice of spells. This can be useful at low levels, since you'll find books for many low level spells.
4) The multiple attacks is related to weapon skill more than speed. Once weapon skill gets over 50, characters start to get additional attacks. I know there are other factors, though. I just started a new game, and my samurai got two attacks in one fight, and her weapon skill is no where near fifty.
5) Could it be your party formation. Myles default position is way in the back row, so he will only be able to attack with ranged weapons. You can rearrange your party formation to move him to the front lines and he might be more effective. Rogues can be effective fighters in this game. With his stealth, they are hard to hit, and they do extra damage due to backstabbing all the time.
