I've noticed that oftentimes when I go to attack an enemy Fort, the scout combat report lists two separate threat levels.
What do each of these threat levels mean? Which one is the "real" estimation of difficulty?
Why are there two difficulties shown when sieging towns

There are preset heroes, but only if you play Heroes VI offline. When you aren't connected to the Conflux, you can choose from a list that contains a single Might and a single Magic hero from each faction.
When you are connected to the Conflux, you are restricted to your dynasty heroes and the factions they represent. However, as you finish the campaigns, you gain the heroes from those campaigns. I'm guessing (hoping?) that once you have finished all the campaigns you will have a might and a magic hero from every faction in your dynasty.
If I'm wrong, or if you want to play online skirmish or multi-player games right now (and be able to choose the faction you start with), you have to create your own hero for each faction.
Nope, sorry. I've run into this myself and you can't get the saved games from the Ubisoft servers, you will have to start anew with the campaign in offline mode to not depend on their servers which right now may be lacking stability.
They are very well known for this DRM, see Assassins Creed 2, which unfortunately didn't offer an offline mode like HOMM 6.

There is a threat level for both the enemy hero located in the entrance of the town, and additionally the hero/armies fortified within the town. Right-clicked one will show the other in parenthesis (and vice versa).
By engaging in the siege you will fight two battles at the difficulties indicated. If, however, there is no garrison hero, the garrison and the visiting hero will combine forces, and you will only fight a single battle.
