1) I believe you are referring to a runic hammer, which can create the magic properties. If you craft in the brit craft zone, you also have a chance to craft a slayer weapon. (http://www.uoforum.com/wiki/index.php?title=Slayer_Types). All of these are crafted with the Blacksmith skill.
2) A guide for blacksmith training and an explanation for the BOD's can be found on the UOF wiki. http://www.uoforum.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
3) You shouldn't need any other skills to craft weapons other than blacksmith, the stats won't affect much, and they will increase as you train. You may want to consider mining though, that is how you can dig materials (ingots) from the rock to craft weapons and armor.
4). If you find player run vendors (outside of town in house, they have yellow names usually), you will find many great weapons. Playing a crafter is a useful player type, it is all personal preference. You can make a lot of money, and there is a demand for your goods.
5) I would look at the wiki for a guide, and if you are looking for a reward calculator, do a search for "ultima online BOD reward calculator" there are a few online.
6) It depends on the type of runic hammer, a decent resource is the stratics calculator or this: http://www.uoguide.com/Blacksmith_BOD_Rewards
