1. when you have 18 strength, what does the second number on the other side of the slash mean?

Only warrior type classes( Fighters, Rangers, Barbarians and Paladins) can have this bonus. The second number ranges from 01-00, where 00 equals 100. The higher the number, the greater their strength. 19 STR is higher than 18/00, but 18/00 is higher than 18/50.

2. if you have a multi-class character (ie. a ranger/cleric)which stronghold are you eligible for? One of them? Both? Neither?

This depends. Multiclassed characters that have the Fighter aspect, can exploit a bug in the game to gain two strongholds, but rulewise, the stronghold you get is the first stronghold you choose.

3. i was never able to install the exp. cap patch properly, only unzip it... anything i may have been doing wrong?

Unzip the files into your game's override folder.

4. What happens when I install ToB? will I be able to continue with my cavalier at his existing level? (and will i be able to gain more exp. even though i reached the cap in SoA?) and do romances continue as well?

First of all, the Xp cap is raised to 8,000,000 Xp. When a party member levels up and his/her combined Xp is 3,000,000+, he/she gets to choose a High Level Ability. Your Cavalier will continue into ToB, simply fight the final battle, and he will automatically transit to ToB. If you do not wish to re-fight, you can just import the save game in ToB, and extract the characters. Finally, romances do continue in ToB, provided they reached a certain critical point in SoA.
