2) Why players in round 1 play more matches than players in round 1a?
Is the initial seed based on rank or score of the players?
For example, I play two matches but in round 1 people play 4 matches. Why?
To pass to second round you (as 4-way matches player) must play round 1a (1 match -- 2 battles) and round 1b (another match -- 2 battles). So the first round for you is divided in two subrounds and the total are 4 battles.
And 3-way matches players must play only round 1 but 2 matches (4 battles).
The match is two battles with the same opponent but for different sides (one as PL and one as FNU).

3) What are the numbers in "3-way Matches" and "4-way Matches"? the seed numbers?
Yes, they are player's seed numbers.

Then none player will be eliminated after round 1?
Incorrect! For 3-way match 2 best players pass to second round and the worst player is eliminated from main tournament and enters The Consolation Knockout (a parallel tournament for losers).
For 4-way match 3 best players pass to second round and the worst player is eliminated and enters The Consolation Knockout.

Let's consider my case: I have a seed of 59 and I play against Donut that have 38. So what happens If I win and what if I lose?
Each player has 2 lives. If you lose both round 1a and round 1b (all 2 your lives), then you will be eliminated.
Else you will pass to second round.
If you win both round 1a and round 1b, you will be undefeated player (you will save your 2 lives). If you lose in one of rounds, you will be once-defeated player (one life remains).
Note that to lose life, you need to lose a match, not a battle.
