A lot of mods lack documentation, its a trend.
I've found that crafting the building stations yourself unlocks the manuals. IE making the wooden crafting blocks instead of taking them from a village, making a smeltery from scratch instead of taking it from a village. There may be another way, but when I had the same issue, crafting the mod's work bench blocks unlocked the manuals
Pretty sure you can store any type of liquid in seared glass. I have some water in some seared glass next to my smeltery.
To get vol. 2, you need to craft a tool station I believe. Or a tool forge.
Vol. 1 spawns with you automatically, so you should get vol. 2 from any of the wooden tables. If not, try the suggestion above.
No you will not lose your cast, or you could add nuggets or even ore berries until you get a full ingot, 9 ore berries = 1 ingot.
The books have crafting recipes. If you craft a blank pattern with a piece of paper to get vol.1. Then you craft the book on its own to get the next volume up
Getting the books is as simple as constructing the appropriate table and one full seared brick. On occasion, it even happens to drop you an extra copy. Not sure why. Might be mod changes in your pack that reset the game knowing if you got the book yet or not.
And it isn't undocumented if you have the books. Updates are in the next dev cycle for the books, I believe.

the point for nugget casts would be when you don't have enough liquid to make a full ingot, but don't want to waste it
well the clumps are half ingots.. it'd be more useful if we were able to make clump casts AND BE ABLE TO SMELT CLUMPS!
I haven't used TiC since the change in the tool station. Is the mod now truly hobbled to the point that all metal must be processed through smeltery casts? If so then that seems a broken system if you're left with useless metal chunks or no real way of clearing the smeltery by pouring full ingots. I mean metal is metal, you should be able to smelt the chunks again at least.
I hope this isn't the case.

Metal chunks aren't completely useless. you can repair your tool with them. kinda nice if you plan on going for a large mining expedition but a full ingot would be a waste. plus you can stack chunks to equal full ingots (ie. stack 2 chunks and you can get a pickaxe head or whatever). as for clearing the smeltery, yes, either add more, or store it in a tank (portable tank works nicely), or pour it into a casting table (with cast) and break it
essentially, yes.
and if you have 0.5 iron in your smeltery, how exactly do you imagine you're going to get that out? As already stated; chunks cannot be smelted, so your options are to add nuggets (which you cannot get half an ingot with) or add another ingot... which leaves you with another half ingot.
Wow, the mod is essentially broken now. You don't need chunks to repair an item that has auto repair or a IC2 recharge ability. That sucks
