1. It's 6 tiles and mentioned in the long description when you click the little yellow question mark in the promotion screen.

2. It compares percentages. So if your soldier has 50% health and the enemy has 75% health, your soldier gets the bonuses.

There isn't a question mark on the abilities when I click on it. Thanks though.

Yes there is. But as I said, you need to go to the promotion screen to see it:

Okay, gotcha. But That's just after I've already chosen and potentially chose a perk I didn't understand. I guess I have to save my game, then choose, then look, then reload.

Well, the description was imported as is from MINT and originally you couldn't even choose abilities, they were simply assigned randomly, so this wasn't really an issue. Even now, if you've ever played LW2, you know what "isolated" refers to.

That said, many of the starting abilities & descriptions will be reworked at some point. Also, you don't have to save & reload, you can just use the console commands to rebuild a soldier in the rare case where a description doesn't have all the information. If you encounter any other cases of ambiguity, feel free to report them.
