slaying in Monster Hunter (MH) means you kill the boss/biggest/required monster in the quest using your weapon. after that, you can "carve" for its parts by pressing "O"
If you hit a monster you automaticly do damage to the monster if your weapon has affinity every coupple hits (depends on how much affinaty) if your weapon slightly bounses off the monster and there is no blood this does not mean that you have done no damage it means it was reduced becasue of the lack of sharpeness of your weapon

good weapons are hard to define in monster hunter. Many of them have their ups and downs. Even weapon type matters. Hammers are better for monsters with tough hide then longswords or dualblades etc. You can find a list of all the weapons,their stats, and how to make them at www.gamefaqs.com

The weapon with the most raw power is the Seismic Gigas Hammer. It is upgraded from a Bone Hammer.
Hit then roll, with a longsword not greatsword and if you have a decent cat... I've got one which is hacked named Fay can kill anything in about 2 hits XD Depicting on the monster, the best way to beat a monster get a weapon that has its weakest attribute if fighting a giadrome using a fire elemnt weapon will easily beat it. Also it depends on which weapon you like i find the bow to be one of the ultimate weapons.
