comm failure procedure is written alright, but what to do with it? when will the aircraft, let's say a light one, commence approach?
They should follow the standard radio failure procedure for the state in question if not advised of any differences from standard in the airfield briefing notes.

first of all it uses heading and after that a fix - what happens in case of strong wind and slow aircraft?
Could be one of a couple of things.

1. Someone who knows about procedure design will be able to tell you what requirements need to be met regarding terrain separation limits during a SID procedure. This takes into account a certain error margin producing a 'funnel' which meets the minimum requirements, which presumably this procedure must comply with in order to be promulgated.

2. Heading could be a misprint and should read TRACK. Have had this before on Jeppesen charts, which take their info from the AIP.
