Dominions 2 Demo Review

This is really confusing to me about missile attacks and magic attacks. For example, is a Fireball a missle attack that uses the caster's precision stat OR does it use another formula to determine hit/miss?

Every targeted battlefield spell is treated as a missile attack that always hits a target in the square where it lands. Some spells have a precision boost of 100 which means that the mage will essentially always hit the target they aim for. Spells use the mage's precision stat as the basis for determining the spread as they travel. A precision on the mage of 15 is pretty much necessary to make spells like fireball useful, which indicates that the effects might need to be looked at a bit.

I assume level of the caster matters, like Fire9 mage should hit more with his fireball than a Fire2 mage right? Or does that just let him cast more fireballs in one battle?

That just affects the statistics that have "+" or "-" symbols after them in the spell description, as well as the penetration bonus to overcome magic resistance for those spells which can be negated by such.
