Is there any difference to which hand I equip two weapons to? I've switched around the two weapons I currently have equipped and my DPS remains the same. Does this mean I can equip whichever weapon in either hand with no change in damage output?
Does it matter which hand the weapons are in while dual-wielding

Levelling up a gem is like levelling up a skill in many other games. It gives you higher damage, more effects, higher requirements, etc.
As you can see, burning arrow gains 3% physical damage, and 1% greater chance to ignite enemies. It also now requires you to be level 2 to use it.
I believe higher levels of Raise Zombie increase zombie health and damage. For other (non-summon) skills, the stats of the new level were shown on the gem at one point during beta, but do not appear to be shown now. The reason minion statistics aren't shown on the skill is because they don't exist on the skill, they exist on the minion.
(Minion statistical information) isn't hidden, it doesn't exist. Ideally we'd like to make it exist and be visible eventually, but this a) requires implementing entirely new systems for skills to be able to show stats that aren't in the skill, and b) requires those stats having actual values we can read somewhere. We've got a temporary solution for Zombie life numbers, which need updating any time any balance changes modify what those values are, but it's simply not viable to make that a large-scale solution.
You get more zombies from the passive tree.
Yes they should. You can read that from the same page you provided:
Gems equipped in both weapons slots gain experience, though only the currently active weapon slot's skills can be used.
It's probably that the gems you're using on the second set happen to need more experience points to level up.

In most cases it does not matter which weapon is in which hand, although you have to keep in mind that only one will be used in most attacks (except for skill gems that explicitly use both weapons at once of course).
In regard to Main-Hand/Off-Hand calculations there is no such thing as an Off-Hand handicap or anything like that.
According to the game wiki, weapon usage is alternated with most skills. But since only one weapon will be used in most attacks, only that weapons on-hit modifiers will be applied. This might be relevant when you heavily rely on modifers like "life gain on hit" or mana leech, especially when using one of the few skills that explicitly only use the main hand weapon for attacks.
