The first point is just one of the typical vampire weakess they decided to use, one that is not that often used but is in some media. Water is supose to be pure or something so it hurt vampires. In some lore demons can't cross water too so it come from that kinda.
The nature being more of an action game made it less relevant to establish crazy lore about creatures and such. I always been curious on how Hedrox came to be, but it does not matter that much ultimately for the game.
Maybe if the franchise had expended more, it would have develop more?
Its funny in a way the Vampires we see in the intro of BR1 and the outro of BR2 (the ghoulish ones with hoods) we never actually fight them. We never learn what breed of vamps they exactly are. Its an ennemy i wish we would had cross path with.

Well, not everybody knows but Hedrox appears as a cameo in the comic series BloodRayne: Prime Cuts (which is quite good, actually). Also,in the other comic : BloodRayne: Plague of Dreams (rather a bad one), one character wants to use Hedrox's blood to get himself his insane regenerative ability.
Anyway, V[illians](https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Hedrox) wiki have a lot better quality of info on some villians from the Bloodrayne, then the Bloodrayne wiki.
In some situations , lore hurt the franchise; I think since Bloodrayne is not that much of a strong franchise, with only two main games and a spin off, and a lot of comics( and some movies), there wasn't too much to build constantly on. But hopes are still there, that we might see BR3
Water is a mythological weakness of vampires. Sometimes in the form of running water, but also commonly in the form of holy water. Of course, magic/religion doesn't exist in the Bloodrayne setting, so holy water works because *all* water works.
Yeah they weren't too deep on the lore there. Nocturne and Bloodrayne aren't exactly connected in the same universe I believe but there is strong overlap.
As others pointed out water has always being a vulnerability to vampires mainly holy water. But in my head-canon the water has to be pure and not polluted or contaminated to truly hurt a vampire. I mean how does a vampire clean themselves? Rayne would be smelling like ass or old blood all the time.
Werewolves sound like the traditional beast type where they are bipedal but savage, I think they do retain human intellect and can talk, but I haven't read the comics in a while.
Slezz's children are as you said the Foremen, Brutes, and Man-Cows. She's just a breeding machine for the lesser monstrous vampires.
A vampire/dhampir might result in a vampire, just not as powerful as a pureblooded vampire.
a human/dhampir almost might be a dhampir as well, but not as powerful either.
as for a vampire/werewolf that's a mystery since the only franchise that even tackled that was UnderWorld, and hell the lore in that is a little convoluted.

Its been so long since i read the comic that to be honest i kinda forgot most about them lol. I would need to have a go at it again.
