Yes, that's the Wine gurus at work.
Wine documentation is in a subdirectory called 'documentation'
You need to build it first, by entering this directory and
typing 'make'. Then you browse the directory wine-doc
below the documentation directory, using your favourite
web browser.

No idea, that's difficult to answer. If you have an app that
relies on features that are badly supported, it will not run
soon. Typesetting applications are very unlikely to run very
well because of partial implementation of some features
(dynamic load of font do not work, for example)

Most are coming of the absence of any kind of configuration
on this Wine installation (config file in the ~/.wine directory)
