Lots of good questions. I'm afraid I can't answer them off the top of
my head, but I remember some of these being discussed over the years.
You might want to take a quick look through this Florilegium file:
looms-msg (50K) 5/16/01 Medieval looms.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/TEXTILES/looms-msg.html
If anyone has written or would like to write an article describing
and comparing the different types of medieval looms, I'd love to have
it for the Florilegium.
