1st Question: Slow playing before the flop in limit O8 is not recommended, unless you're 1st or 2nd to act in a tight game and won't get any callers if you raise in E.P.. You want to get the money in early on low hands. There is no guarantee you will make a high or not get 1/4'rd, even 6th'd. To prevent a loss in a big hand you need to get the money in early to cover those potential losses in the later (and bigger) betting rounds.

I think this is bad advice and doesn't make sense. How does getting your money in early prevent a later loss?

With low oriented (esp suited) ABC hands, you want to play a volume pot against multiple opponents. You should just tailor your raising strategy to fit this goal. If the table is playing tight against raises, limp from EP and maybe toss in a backraise if it will swell the pot and not shut too many people out. If the table is really loose and squirrelly, raise from EP if it won't deter any callers.
