You managed to defeat 3 revenants in one go?!
Wow.
Generally if I opened one of those sarcophagi, I just wouldn't bother to fight and reload again.
Only if it was one or maybe two, would I bother to fight.
They're very fast, so it's hard to evade as well, unless you're good at sneaking maybe, but I never bothered with that skill, especially seeing as I prefer the heavier armours that hamper the skill.

And you can use as many as you want, though if the enemy is close to the explosion it's more likely that they'll get injured, so stay near the keg. As for the weight issue, it would make more sense if each new barrel weighed more, but it certainly helps that it doesn't...
I would have expected each barrel added to the weight myself, but I wasn't too sure if that was the case.

I'm used to this kind of XP system myself and prefer it to the Morrowind one. It's less realistic but I'm just used to it.

Most of the time you can use mana spirits, but when you're in an area surrounded by enemies...
Fortunately, in those areas many of the enemies drop mana spirits when they die.

You can use a bow pretty well in close combat without penalties, so you may want to stick with that, it should be easier to hit enemies with that than One-handed (unless you put more points in). There is a good free bow on offer in Montaillou if you complete one of the quests there.
