Whenever you craft something, i.e. when the item you want to craft shows up on your screen, there are symbols on the 2nd line that advise you which skills influence the crafting of that item

1: Quality of the bow and arrows do affect damage.
2: Not sure.
3: I'd suggest just increasing all three EVS, as I'm sure they all influence damage.
4: No. Just marksman.

4: on the attributes page - Perception 'Increases your minimum ranged damage, lowered by enemy's agility.' stated in the old ring of brodgar wiki. not sure if this is the case anymore.

There doesn't seem to be the same RNG system in bow damage legacy had. Not 100% sure what PER does, but it's not min damage anymore.

The one you can max. Found substance taproot spot? Max substance then. You got the idea. At least this is how it works with nettle shirts and pants. 23+ substance shirt gives same +3 surv as 23+ vitality shirt.

It may depend on the item. Some items may be calculated the same way curio multipliers are (root mean square), others may use individual quality aspects. Not enough is known yet.

I can confirm that for armor each quality have a different purpose. Wear is based on Vit, Substance affect absorption and Essence is deflection, although I could not confirm essence yet
