Couple of cash game questions

RLT16

Hi all, i played a cash game for the first time today, and while i finished in profit (brag over) i realised that i dont really know much about the rake side of things or cash games in general.

i've seen people call cash games 4nl, 10nl, 20 nl but what the hell does that mean?

what % of each pot goes to rake? i tried searchng the site for info but couldnt find it, i only found out that for every £1 in rake you pay u get 6 poker points. (why is it lower than the poker points you get for Mtts and S&g's, which are 10 points for each £1?)

i tried asking the guys i was sat with but they were ignoring me, should probably of asked before i won their money
