The only data that is captured for spawns is the information sent by the server when you zone in (so name, class, race, level, appearance, other things like that).

The spawn point is also not captured, rather that is assumed to be the point where the mob currently is when you enter the zone. If a mob happened to spawn while you were doing the collect, then the real spawn point would be captured, but that would be rare, since it is recommended to do collects when no-one is fighting in the zone, otherwise the pathing data would be all screwed up.

Loot info isn't sent until the mob is killed, so that isn't captured. Likewise the server only sends the mobs % hitpoints, not an absolute value, so he extractor tool just makes a guess at HP based on level. If you look at one of the logs at the insert statement for npc_types, you will see what data is populated.
