"I find myself asking regularly if the listed grammatical forms are intended to be the exhaustive list of Hebrew Bible uses or is it only a list of non-regular forms, which cannot be determined from my beginning text book (e.g. Seow)."
See p. x in the lexicon's introduction. The lists are not always exhaustive. It is assumed that users know the basic patterns of verbs and nouns. But it is much more than a listing of non-regular forms. It looks like, in general, the various inflectional forms of a word are listed.

Perhaps you can help me with these questions. Reference the entry for nathan (NFTAN), in the 1988 edition (13th impression) on page 249. In the grammatical forms section (preceding definition) there are entries for imperfects (impf.). The second one is YIT.EN- . Does the ending meqqeph indicate that this is a form that only appears with object suffixes? Additionally, I find myself asking regularly if the listed grammatical forms are intended to be the exhaustive list of Hebrew Bible uses or is it only a list of non-regular forms, which cannot be determined from my beginning text book (e.g. Seow). Thank you.

Additionally, I find myself asking regularly Hello Kevin, these forms are such forms wich are "connected" with the following word with a maqqef, i.e. the two words are pronounced together. Because of that the vocalization changed from s??r? into seg?l.
