The relationship between lord and vassal was determined by rules of feudalism. The term, feudalism, is not very well defined, and there is no single set of laws describing it. But this is not because the laws were unwritten, so much as because they were not uniform.
Monks were not part of the feudal system. They were part of the Church clergy and held no land of their own; they owed no feudal obligation to any overlord and were not governed by the king's law.The Church as an institution held land and might also have manors, peasants and knights owing feudal obligations to an abbot or bishop, but monks were in no way connected with any of this.
In ancient times, the feudal relationship assisted the serfs in survival. Even though it was difficult and repressive, breaking off the relationship could cause starvation.
The relationship between a vassal and the church was the same as the relationship between any other secular person and the church. The vassal was part of the feudal hierarchy, and the church had a separate hierarchy.
Equality.

yes
Yes, Bishops were in charge of the church. Since most people went to church in Feudal times, you could consider a bishop important.
There is one major error here: the Catholic Church, while structured as a hierarchy, is not an example of the feudal system.The Pope is the Bishop of Rome, and the formal leader of the Catholic Church.
