It will tell you if an attack has a chance to apply a DOT. If it just says it's doing fire damage, that's all it is, points of damage that are counted as 'fire' for resistance purposes.

As enchancements yes, as other sources of damage, not necessarily.

So the frost weapon enchantement? Does this come with a freeze chance?

No, the melee and ranged frost weapon enchantment do 20% more damage on frozen or slowed creatures.

The status effect really depend on the spell or attack. You need to read every spell and attack to know which do what.

White witches and snow elementals have a freeze spell in addition to their basic attack.

As an other example, in the pyromancy tome. The arrow fire enchantment inflicts burning, but the melee fire enchantment does 20% more damage to burning creatures. Even the same type of spell doesn't necessarily do the same thing.
