Hello there, Fel. Welcome to Freedom.
Well let me see if I can help out the best I can with your questions. Hmm...
1. The variation of RP is mostly Alliance at the current moment, but almost everyone has a Horde and Alliance character they like to play. I've been here for six years now and I can tell you that the favored faction to play swings through time. When I first came to Freedom, Rp was heavily equal to be fair but that was more of the nature of Wrath days. Alliance was favored for a bit though, then cata was Horde, then Pandaria became more Alliance. There are plenty of neutral people as well so don't be discouraged about that either.
For races, you can play almost anything. For things you can't play, just check the morph list. Some races you will have to apply for. High Elf, Furbolg, Mag'har Orc, and so on are tier 0 which you can either make without an application. If you want to play something a little bit rare, you'll have to make a morph application and hash it out with the staff.
2. What Roux said. We are on a month break but in January we will start Landfall patch content.
3. Intellegent Murloc hm? Well, it really depends honestly. If you want to try to apply for that, ask the GMs, bounce it off a few people perhaps with a good explanation and propose it to them. Don't feel discouraged if you get denied, just use it to learn how you might improve upon the concept.
It's generally best however to spend a bit of time on Freedom before going for some applications just so you can become familiar with the community and the workings of how it is run here so you can work with it appropriately of course. But we've had much odder things pass on Freedom. I can see an intellegent Murloc in my own personal opinion. (I'm not a staff member though ;P)
4. Lore used to be very flexible here on Freedom. People used to bend it out of control, but as of late, there is some very strict policy to it. For example, no named character can die unless the story of Warcraft actually does so. We follow the story and fix it to fit an RP community appropriately and as close as we can to the real story. We as players are heroes fulfilling the role of the adventurer. Of course, you can make or join in on other adventures people make up as it is RP afterall. Some people make up things so long as it fits the world, but follow the lore of the story.
The staff generally keeps the lore as true as it can be and dictate what could pass or not with the player base.
As I typed this out I just realized Roux had answered you, but I hope I added some supplementary answers to it.
