Read the README, it's documented there.

No, batman-adv can also fragment the packets for you. But it's a good idea to 
set this MTU value to the hard interface used by batman-adv.

There is no such thing as debug mode. Compile batman-adv with debug turned on 
(either set CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG=y in the Makefile if you compile the module 
externally or select debug in "make menuconfig" when using the module from the 
in-kernel tree).

You can "see" other nodes e.g. by using "batctl o", which will print the local 
originator table.
