When I originally designed characters, I applied the class feature expertise twice (as per the rules), but given that the feat expertise only applies once, is that intended? Yes

Actions put in the domain order grant XP, the precise numbers will be hidden from the players, but here is an overview that can give a general idea of how much xp you should expect to gain from an action:
XP gain per action:
Adventure: Depending on character level, difficulty of adventure, margin of success and role play, a character who survives without intervention will receive 10+XP (A level 3 character surviving a level adventure where all parts were successful will receive between 562xp and 3700XP depending on individual level of success and role play bonus.)
Training: A character that train will receive 200 XP
Other actions: Other actions will grant 5-150 XP depending on DDC, success and dramatic importance of the action
So if your regent use his 4 actions he will receive at least 20XP for the turn. (if all the actions were easy, failed and were of little dramatic importance for the realm or role play on the forum)

I am not going to say that it is a problem of language not there I think that it is my limited brain which does not allow me to understand a base's rule : " the character action".
I understood for 3 regents actions, I have even a lieutenant then I have an action furthermore. I understand that " character action" is an action where there is no baseline cost …
What I do not understand:
1) It is the 5th action or only instead of one of the 4 others?
2) There is only one " character action " possible by turn or by REGENT+lieutenant?

I can answer this! It's all in the rulebook, although it isn't necessarily all in one place.
For a summary:
Able assistants - Advisors: One character action to use the advise action only
- Specialist: One character action
Henchman
Lieutenant - One bonus lieutenant action (can be used as a character action, counts towards the limit of 3 character actions maximum per character)
- One character action
Titles - Various titles grant various bonus actions. See the rulebook for more info. I can never locate them. A character can have multiple titles. Titles may have other effects. Advisors do benefit from titles.
- An important limitation is that no character can ever take more than 3 character actions. So your lieutenant could have two titles beyond his lieutenant status, but he would still be limited to one bonus lieutenant action and two character actions (since the lt action counts towards character actions) - the additional titles would just give him more flexibility. Most of the titles are either administrative or warlike.
Regents
- Your regent can substitute a regent or bonus regent action for a character action. This is most commonly used for adventure actions, but theoretically any character action is possible (it's just questionable why you'd want to give up important regent actions for most of them). I'm going to assume the 3 character action limit applies as well, but that regent actions don't towards it. Either that, or the regent exceptionally has 4 character actions.
This is a basic summary from the rulebook. There's more nuances than I can convey in this short of a post, but it should cover the basics of characters and character actions.

Thus everybody has: +3 actions regents + 1 action lieutenant +2 court action minimum (level of court) +1 action to character for each title (ex: has general: wage war? Yet(now) the year to ambassador: diplomacy) (max 3 character action by personage, but i can change all this actions by characters actions) (other questions there is 1 action lieutenant + 1 action character lieutenant or this remplace the first) Sorry for my poor brain

Assuming you have a regent (your domain can exist without one, but it's rough - a domain has 1 action without its regent, thus implying the the other 3 actions are the "character actions" of the regent, but I digress) 3 Regent Actions 1 Bonus Regent Action If you have a lieutenant (you do not have to have one, and they are difficult to replace) 1 Bonus Lieutenant Action +X court actions (where X is court level: Maximum defined by province level, various structures and maybe other rules that may or may not apply - the cost to maintain X court level is X - 2 ... so effectively a minimum court level of 2 ). +1 character action per non-regent character (incl. lieutenants) +1 character action for each title (generals & admirals get a free adventure action they can use to accompany an army or a fleet, some of the others give free ply trade or free train actions - none of the titles will give you free court, regent or realm actions). Max 3 yes, not sure what your question is, but basically: Lt is a army quartermaster and general. You use a bonus regent action, you then use a ply trade character action to reduce army upkeep, you then use an adventure action to send him off to resolve an event - he can't use his free general adventure action, because he has already taken 3 character actions. As per above, a Lieutenant has (without titles) the bonus lieutenant action and 1 character action. You can have several lieutenants, but only one may use the bonus lieutenant action.

Page 64 in the regents guide has the official titles that anyone has access to. Other titles may be gained in game as far as i understood Linde.

Every domain have: 1 domain action (if the domain have a regent they instead get 1 bonus regent action)
On top of that I have tried to make an overview of the actions you can get from characters:
Character | Action 1 | Action 2 | Action 3 | Regent | Domain action 1 | Domain action 2 | Domain action 3 | Lieutenant | Bonus LT(only one)/Character action | Character action | No action/ Ply trade granted by position | Henchman/specialist | Character action | No action/ Ply trade granted by position | No action | Advisor | Advisor action | No action/ Ply trade(administrate) granted by position | No action | Follower | support/ply trade | No action | No action | Group of 4 followers | Character action | No action | No action |
Followers are not hired by your court and any title/position they are granted will be fluff titles until such time they are hired. Titles grant character actions. Generals get Ply trade(warfare) and use it to use their warfare in battles.
Wage war is a domain action and can only be executed by a regent or a lieutenant using the LT bonus action.
You get 2 or more court actions on top of those listed above. (1 for each level of your court)
A regent that take 4 domain actions cannot take any character actions as well. If he wants to take a character action he must do so instead of taking one of his domain actions.

Re: Court Actions.
Can an able assistant with a higher bonus (say +6 due to skills, expertise and background or whatnot) be used to boost a single regent or court action with that bonus? Or is that a supportive action?
Or perhaps a better question - at what point do the skill bonuses transfer from the character to the action?

All actions (except bonus LT and other characters actions) are modified by the regent.
If you want your actions modified by a different character, that character need to spend a character action doing so.(spending one character action for each action he/she modifies)
