I'm pretty sure they're gonna do more explaining in volume 2. They wanted to introduce as many things as they could in volume 1, but that didn't leave them as much time to explain those specific things in depth. However... I can explain what you're confused about with the grimm.

Remember how the volume started out with a narration? The narrator pretty much briefly explained the creatures of grimm: "Man, born from dust, was strong, wise, and resourceful, but he was born into an unforgiving world. An inevitable darkness - creatures of destruction; the creatures of Grimm - set their sights on man and all of his creations. These forces clashed, and it seemed the darkness was intent on returning man's brief existence to the void." Why fight the grimm? Because they're intent on destroying humankind.

What is a huntsman/huntress? Someone whose job revolves around hunting and killing creatures of grimm, much like how the job of a meister and their weapon is to hunt and kill those who possess kishin souls.

Overall, though, like I said, volume 1 was mainly all about being the introduction and preparing us for volume 2. From what we've been shown and told about volume 2, it's going to get into the actual story and start actually going more in depth.
