Yeah, that explanation pretty much covers it all. The only correction I would make is about this:

To help decrease favoritism for items earlier in the DB order, we instead pick a random point in the total list to start at and then iterate until we get a successful roll. So, if we have 10 items in the same lootdrop_id, we would random 1 to 10 and (or 0 to 9 whatever) and start at the random spot that was picked, then continue to the next and so on.
On the question of multiple drops; that is set in the lootable_entries table with the multiplier and probability fields. So, if you want 0 to 2 possible drops from your lootdrop_id, you can set the multiplier to 2, then the probability to anything from 1 to 99 depending on how often you want 1 or 2 to drop. The multiplier is the max possible items from the lootdrop_id that can be dropped, and the probability is the chance for each multiplier to drop. If you set the multiplier to 10 and the probability to 10%, you would probably average about 1 drop per kill (in theory anyway), but could be anywhere from 0 to 10 at any time.
