If i publish an app in the App Store with deployment target 8.1 will it run on an iPhone 4 with iOS 7.1.2? Or does this mean that my app will not be supported for iPhone 4 anymore?

As far as i know with my android history, You can run it on target version or higher so that would be a no to your question.

The base SDK is what you build your app against (i.e. include and library files and frameworks). As you say, it doesn't effect the deployment target, except that base sdk >= deployment target.
You specify build settings on 2 levels as each project can have multiple targets and you might not want the same settings for all targets. The project-level settings override the default settings and the target-level settings override the project-level settings.
For example I have projects with both OSX and iOS targets and some are ARC and some are MRR. I'd have to have different projects for each if I was unable to specify build settings with the level of granularity that Xcode allows.
