The answers to your questions are in the context's source code ;-)

I'd consider this a bug. A while ago I had the same problem with after=...

[ But, when looking at the source, I wonder why the
  \complexdoitemgroupitem ignores \itemlevel\c!voor ]

The beforehead has to do with the \head command also described in the
manual (cont-eni.pdf, cont-enp.pdf).

[...]
\setupitemize[1][][beforehead=\hairline,afterhead=\hairline]

\starttext
\startitemize
\head Level One

[...]

gives 

  --------------
* Level One
  --------------

It is not documented as far as I know.

One never knows... I have the same problem here.

No. There is documentation on special topics, such as tables or
flowchart module. But for the itemize there is afaik only the main
manual.
