Have you fully read:
http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.qdisc.classless.html#AEN691
?
most of it is explained in there.

> 1) What unit is token? Is "1 token = 1 byte" ?

1 token is one packet.

> 2) How much tokens are used for one packet (1500)?
1

Packet dropping happens when too much data is coming in.
