Normally I'd say all of the questions about Camelot can be answered with "It's mighty BIG plothole among many." But since your so interested...

I don't really know. But since there are so many council meetings and nobles and stuff it must have all sorts of sections like states(if you live US) where the nobles are like governers? Gwen said in the darkest hour part 2 that all the peasants coming into the city are farmers who grow food and give a share to the noble who protects them from invasion and danger in return. I think thats how it worked back then. As for the quality of the mirrors... They obviously have a few mirror factories in Camelot somewhere.

Education... I think only people who have a position in a the royal household have access to it. Like Gaius only knows all about anatomy because he studied to become a physician and Geoffory of Monmouth is the librarian. I think that most people know how to read in Camelot because its just such a common thing in culture now and the show is more about Merlin and magic and heroism and friendship and adventure and drama to focus so much on historical accuracy. Thats why its called "fantasy"
