She can still use the other hand, just make sure she only holds one item in that hand.

Nope.

I would assume weapon skill, as fighter is focused on melee attacks.

I've been attacked by kobolds when I only have 3 companions, although they were all using shitty copper items and cave spider silk clothes. Some thieves they are.

Got shot by a crossbowman and passed out, then was stabbed to death by the pikeman he was fighting.

Words of advice: If you had high dodging you could have jumped out of the way, if you had high shield skill you could have stopped the bolt by blocking it.

Personally in my graveyard hall, I have the graves with the corresponding memorials right in front of them.

Pulling out stuck projectiles causes pain and bleeding, speeding up the pass out process ususally. Just a note.

And, I do believe that companions can increase their skills in combat, like other people.

I had a similar incident, apparently a "Wombat Brute" was captured by humans or something and taken prisoner, so I made him join my party since there were no other melee fighters and I hate range fighters. I thought he was shit, but when we get a simply massive ambush of goblins, with heavy losses on both sides and there I was, dying on the ground. A group of goblins charge towards me but lo and behold, the brute jumps out of a tree and has an epic slicing, arm-ripping bite, curbstomp and mach punch fest. The best part? He only had a copper slicing knife.

My creature mostly matched yours in appearance, it was a twisted creature with horns and a tail, along with various other parts.
