2) See above
3) Vampires are hard to kill on the battlefield, I assume this reflects the difficult in decapitating a preternaturally vast barsud/ho trying to rib your genitals off. Even then permanent death is more difficult, they can be resurrected if their follows get their body/ashes/bits of. Vlad von Carstein died a hell of a lot in his campaign, for lulz, and came back the next day and the people that killed him turned up dead.
