1) v774a, v774b, and v774c are created from the three parts of question 911 (page 389 of the KDHS 2008-09 final report http://www.dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/FR229/FR229.pdf), and these three variables are about the respondents knowledge of mother to child transmission. v824 is created from question 912A ("Are there any special drugs that a doctor or a nurse can give to a woman infected with the AIDS virus to reduce the risk of transmission to the baby?"), and is also a knowledge-related question.
2) All datasets from different surveys are recoded to common formats, known as the recode files, described in the Recode Manual. The word document you are referring to contains information related to the Kenya DHS 2008-09 survey concerning the sections and variables not used for Kenya, and the sections and variables added that were specific to the Kenya DHS 2008-09 survey and are not in the standard format.
3) The HIV dataset does include the HIV test results for both men and women. If you merge the HIV data to the Women's Recode (IR) data according to the cluster number, household number and line number, this will merge the data just for the women (as the IR file has no men's data). See this thread for information about merging the HIV data to the IR data.
