For CF vs AF read the combat section of the manual but you are basically
right.

AF = CF * (100% + SUM{all % bonuses} )

% bonuses can come from skills, weapons, statues, equiped items,...
The mind reels.

Now I can't quite remember (and need to re-read the manual myself) but I
think that extra levels in PC are like Training Levels for soldiers and
add some fraction of 1DF (0.25DF for soldiers) per level attained.  It is
thus not your CF that affects your DF per se, but your PC.

No, Monsters act like characters in combat and have to be assigned as slot
leaders to fight.  In the Rahn Games NIC scenario pack it says explicitly
that the "Monster Pack Party" is something that will not be allowed
anymore.  If you release a monster in your party (to assign it to a slot
to fight) then it will probably run off or even attack you.  Makes far more
sense to me.  Is this the same in NIC in the States?  Monster packs work fine
in ROI and COA though.
