In this context, a "bond" means an actual chemical bond.  A hydrogen bond is a 
nonbonded interaction.

Potentially.

That depends on how you define orientation - internal metrics like dihedrals or 
angles between planes of groups in the ligand, relative measurements like its 
position with respect to protein residues, etc.  All analysis tools are listed 
in the manual, Chapter 8 and Appendix D.  It's quite a lot to read, but you'll 
be able to identify all the various things you can analyze and how the 
information might be connected across different analysis routines.
