My dear is that I will duplicate with my characters
As far as I know, there are two companions, one in the inn (EDIT: Madora) and one in the Library (EDIT: Jahan). One is a melee fighter and the other is a mage. Companions have opinions and storylines, unlike henchmen which do not. Henchmen are silent and are just there to fight. Madora is crazy though, I chose not to take her.
I'm not too sure about this part, but I think both companions and henchmen can be leveled according to the players choice, but I'm not 100% certain.
There's a henchmen of almost every class available, I think.
Don't worry so much about specing and re-specing. Just play the game. I highly doubt it'll punish you if you screw up, I know I have already. There are so many different methods to completing objectives, If you get stuck in combat there's always another way. Just quicksave a lot 
There's a thread over at neogaf where they're talking about everything. A couple of pages back you'll find the companion info and some recommended starting classes. Honestly though, the game is about experimentation, try it your way and see if it works out.

I'm having a blast. The constant NPC dialogue is a bit annoying though. I've barely engaged in any combat, mainly just been exploring and stealing everyone's paintings for easy money. Yes I know, I'm a horrible person 
Anyone having performance problems? The game auto-detected my setup as good enough for the ultra preset, it ran fine but my graphics card was having none of that. Even on medium it heats up to stupid levels, so I'm running on low for now, which kind of sucks. My PC is decent, a bit old but it should handle this fine. I'm running an i5 2nd Gen, 4GB RAM and a GTS450 (yeah I know, it's old and I should be ashamed)
