1) That sounds right.
2) They don't stack. A tenebrium weapon uses the Tenebrium skill and that's it, no matter how high your other abilities are.
If you can wait, they're probably going to be releasing a big patch pretty soon, hopefully containing the hardcore mode (a new difficulty mode which will seriously change almost every combat encounter in the game) and a whole slew of other balance changes. They will also probably change how the Tenebrium skills works. I've been wanting to replay the game for a while, but I want to see the biggest number of changes before I dive in again so the experience feels somewhat new again.
Edit: ninja'd hard!
