Hi Mike,
to answer your last question. They were ordinary infantry divisions, which were formed out of Luftwaffe-Personal in the mid-war period. This was done to compensate the loses in the east.
First the Divisions were under Luftwaffe Command, later command was transfered to the Heer.
Im not sure, but i think most Luftwaffe Felddivisionen served on the Eastern Front.

Mike, I can't help you with the first part of your question, but regarding the 2nd part:
They were used in a variety of roles - including combat units although they never acquitted themselves particularly well on the battlefield....
