They cast arcane spells like a wizard, but can't specialize in any schools. They also have a hefty skill allotment for crafting skills.

The help I need is with setting up the arcane spell casting ability, without the specialization part. How can I do this?

Wizard specialization is set up as a custom ability in d20, so you shouldn't have any trouble avoiding that. Just set them up to cast spells like a wizard in the editor. It won't force the specialization.

In the Iron Kingdoms setting, there are a bunch of particular Feats that allow one to make various component pieces to magical constructs. This is were I run into the worst of my issues, as I managed to screw up the pre-requisites on some of the Feats so badly that it messed up my ability to use other custom stuff that I had been using for over a year.
Please help me with how to set a pre-requisite for level, other feats, class, and skills.

There are tons of examples throughout the community set (and within the core set for that matter) showing how to do pre-reqs for all kinds of things. Just open up one of the files in the editor and take a look through the feats. You can also search through some of the Prestige classes as they use similar pre-reqs.

Please and thank you for your assistance.

Setting up a class to have a familiar is easy enough. The issue you would run into here is that you can't really make a whole new class of minions. You can certainly create a mechanical familiar for your class to take, but you should put a pre-req on it to require levels in Arcane Mechanik so that your wizards and sorcerers don't get to use them. You can make familiars in the race tab.
