The lootable doesn't actually have any items directly tied to it. It is there to hold 1 or more lootdrop tables, which can make creating complete lootables much easier. The way it works is you create a loot table for an NPC, then you can create lootdrop tables of that loot table. The loot drop tables are the ones that actually have loot tied directly to them. The reason for this is so you can have multiple lootables in a zone so that all mobs have different loot on them, but if you wanted to add 1 group of items (maybe quest drops) for all mobs in the zone to have, you only need to make 1 loot drop table for that and add that table to all of the loot tables in the zone. It makes it really easy to set certain drops for certain mobs without having to build each loot table completely from scratch.
If you try out GeorgeS' NPC Loot Editor, you will see exactly how it works and it should be much easier to understand.
For the NPC Types, and other spawn related IDs, it is probably good to have the option to either use the next available, or to set a range of IDs to use or to start at. The range of IDs should make it easier to keep custom content separate from other databases.
As far as I know, I think NPC_Types auto increments, but you would need to look at how the ID field is built to find out for sure.
