Interpreting a 850hpa Met Chart

Hi
I hope there is a meteorologist or a pilot, a lot more knowledgeable than I am.
On the chart I have, it has the height in Meters which I understand. However the parts I don't get are where it says
1. WET AREA :: (T-TD less than 3*C)
2. Areas on the chart that show grid lines.
3. Where temps are indicated but in some cases it appears that the Dew Point is higher than the Temp. This I don't understand.
Could somebody please explain this.
Thanks
