2) Yes each of the same classes share similar active skills but called different names and slightly different abilities but you can see the similarities during play between the different races of the same class.
3) Can't answer this very well but when you changed items you changed your look. A lot of the noobs looked the same, I didn't get to the higher levels so I can't say what happens then. There is a cash shop with tons of different customizable items, like outfits, mounts and my favorite the motorcycle.
4) Well there are technically different paths to travel for each class depending on what race you choose. After you choose your race for your class, I don't know if their are any further path decisions. I know their are stat points and you can decide how to make your build. I didin't make it beyond the basic skills learned at 20 so I am not much help there >.<
