This is the link-local address, established by stateless autoconfiguration.

This is the /64 your ISP assigned you.

Looks like you got a /64, therefore there's slightly more than 250 adresses ;).

As per the above (though i'm not quite sure what you mean by router/host addresses, this doesn't sound right.

Unfortunately I can't help you on the dnsmasq specifics for I'm rather new to it, however I just felt like clarifying these IPv6 specifics.
