Item Purchasing ilvl's?

I was wondering if it is true that the following is correct:

In Normal, there is a cap for the item level (ilvl) sold in trading sales: 12 in Act 1, 20 in Act 2, 28 in Act 3, 36 in Act 4 and 45 in Act 5. There is no cap for gambling. Ilvl for gambling items is -5 to +4 of your character's level (clvl) and the ilvl of shopping items is clvl+5 up to the cap.

Now say i was Level 30 in Nightmare Difficulty, would the items that i buy from a vender (not gambling) have the ilvl = clvl + 5?

so making it ilvl=30+5
ilvl=35?

and also a question for using the socket normal items:

1 Ral Rune + 1 Amn Rune + 1 Perfect Amethyst + Normal Weapon = Socketed Weapon of same type

Now when it says the */* and all that does it mean the following:

Sockets - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 4 - 4 -
Roll ---- 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 -

Making 4 Sockets 3/6 -> 1/2 -> 50% chance?


Thanks,

Yes to the first question. On the second, that is true if the max number of sockets for that items is 4. Some weapons have a max of 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, so those last two will look like

Sockets - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 5 -
Roll ---- 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 -

and

Sockets - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 -
Roll ---- 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 -

respectively.

One more thing. That recipe only applies to plain white named weapons. It won't work on blue, yellow, gold, green, or orange items.

The maximum number of sockets also depends on the ilvl, not just on the item type. See here for a list (scroll down to the "sockets by number" table, the one before it seems to refer to monster drops only).
