Try to press RET on the word _help_ in the second line of the buffer.
You can also try moving with TAB and M-TAB, which should give you an
single line help message about each item in the buffer.

No.  They reflect what the face is defined or set to with customize.
If you set it with other means, it will not be reflected.

It should look like this:

State: this item is unchanged from its factory setting. 
[ ] How to display user input for comint shells. 
[INS] [DEL] Display: [ ] Type: [ ] X [ ] PM [ ] Win32 [ ] DOS [ ] TTY 
                     [X] Class: [X] Color [ ] Grayscale [ ] Monochrome 
                     [X] Background brightness: [ ] Light [X] Dark 

which is what I get with `xemacs -q -nw' in an ordinary xterm.
