1) Yes we have a discord, click the discord logo at the bottom of the workshop page.
2) We also have a manual that explains alot of the mods mechanics, link is provided in the sticky post called Manual
3) You get rise in chivalry ranks by gaining chivalry, if you hover over your current chivalry amount it will tell you how much is needed to reach the next rank, that will lower the debuffs you get and eventually, buff you.
4) You get chivalry a few ways, not taking prisoners is a way to increase chivalry gained, mainly through battles vs "evil" entities.

Thank you! The only thing I don't see in the manual is how to recruit the brettonian Noble troops (or whatever turns in grail knights)

Thats just base game, all noble troops are recruited from villages that belong to castles

Something else to pay attention to that you might not know. If you see "RoR" then that location has Regiments of Renown that you can recruit instead of normal peasants and nobles. It is where Brettonia gets mounted archers, forget what city but it is in the mountains, and you can get some "immediately" middle road knight on the cheap in Lyonesse. They are overpowered by late game Knight of the Grail, but much cheaper and MUCH easier to replace when lost.

Also keep a handful of tools on you and help villages that need some as you pass by, and bring their livestock to cities, nothing more chivalrous than helping those peasants.
