Regarding 2., you probably searched for positions with the white king confined
to the a1-d1-d4 triangle.  Wilhelm will correctly give you all the positions.
Some of these positions are equivalent by reflection on the a1-h8 diagonal, but
since you did not ask to eliminate those you will get a higher count.  So it is
not a bug in the program, but in your expectations.

Regarding 4, there is unfortunately no tool to convert between FEG and other
database formats.

I can't comment on Shredder Classic, since it does not work at all on my
computer.
