What is the Hindu's code of conduct?
The moral code falls under the Dharma, which is the universal law of what is right and what is wrong. According to a person of the Hindu faith, you accumulate good or bad Karma, depending on whether or not you follow the Dharma. Because of this, sometimes the Dharma is called Karmic Law.
This may be different for each Hindu based on the path they have chosen, but mostly, it is in line with the moral code's of other mainstream religions. Sex within marriage, not killing, not stealing, and being compassionate are some of the more widely accepted aspects of morality. There are not a lot of rigid do's or do not's that are universally held. Non violence to any living thing is considered a huge part of the moral code for many people of the Hindu faith.

Why did feudalism develop in Europe?
Some of the elements of feudalism were established during the Roman Empire. These elements involved a feudal pyramid of power, and the manorial system, with the serfs at the lowest level, provided a foundation for the rest of the system of power. The bondage of the coloni, free tenant farmers, to the soil they worked was legislated by Constantine the Great in 332, and this persisted into the Middle Ages because the Germanic kingdoms that occupied the West Roman Empire saw the people they had conquered as still of that empire and subject to its laws.
The rest of the feudal pyramid included ranks of nobility, with lords of manors at the level above serfs, and successively greater lords above them until there was a monarch at the top. The thing that made this practical was a comparatively large country with a weak central government. If the government was powerful enough to govern directly, as through a bureaucracy, then the feudal pyramid became an unnecessary encumbrance.
The chaos of the invasions, and the development of kingdoms when migrating tribes settled did not allow the maintenance of strong central governments as had been under the early Roman emperors. Charlemagne did produce a strong Empire in the Carolingian empire, but in the face of Viking raids and internal strife, it failed within only a few generations, and was divided into two realms, the kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire. Both of these had weak central governments.
Prior to the invasion of William the Conqueror, the governments of England were rather strong, relative to the size of the country. The invasion produced a situation where the nobility could quickly find themselves under siege from their tenants, so naturally, they did not trust them. This produced a perception that feudalism was necessary, so for a couple centuries England was also feudal.

Knights were under their lords, they went to war for the lords, and in return they were rewarded land, so that they could earn money for their armor and weapons... The knights were religious, and would pay monks to do all their praying for them, which made the church very wealthy, not only strengthening the church, but also expanding it. The church itself was already having a major impact on society as it was, and the knights having given so much money to the church (which people looked to the church for hope) was making the church less and less as important in peoples lives, and the monks themselves were becoming corrupt by all the money they were making.

Were Knights allowed to kill peasants?
Knights were not simply allowed to kill peasants. I know of no secular laws that allowed this, and Church law certainly would not, unless the peasants were guilty of some crime. A country that gave knights free reign to do such a thing would have been at odds with the Church very quickly. It was allowed in ancient Rome, but even in ancient Rome, the laws had changed.
