1) Yup, lightsabers are melee weapons.

2) No, its your own defence to offset your use of the skill as opposed to just using a normal attack. You make the attack that might cause more damage, but you're more open to attack because of it. Further levels lowers the penalty.

3) I always use Flurry with melee weapons. The amount of damage you can do with an extra attack far outdistances the damage you can do with either Power Strike or Critical Strike (in my opinion). The penalties may seem steep, but they are reduced with further feat upgrades, and they don't actually cause that much of a difference.

4) No idea, except that some enemies might have resistances?
