The HUD is really nice indeed i agree. All but one of the people in those screenshots are other players, the only NPC you can see ( Although not completely. ) is the person in the middle left of the pictures. Actually the very first quest in Act 3 is to rescue her and her loved one, after you finish the quest she becomes a vendor.
As for the Armour and Lore Masters ( Or any of the Forsaken Masters for that matter. )...well that all depends how you look at it. When they are level one you have a chance to meet them when your out questing in Wraeclast, and when you find them and talk to them they request your help with something. At a certain level ( 2 or maybe 3 ) they also become Vendors who will buy everything from you, while also offering items that can contain stats that you can only get from them. Around that time they also start giving you a chance to do a daily quest for them, that is beside the World quest they can give you. At level 3 they also start to sell some Skill gems. So the combination of the quests and the Skill gems they can sell, could be seen as them training you as well. ( It is in a some what broad sense but still.

They are also the NPC's that give you the opportunity the get a Hide out, and they also sell the items with which you can build your Hide out. They two Masters you see in the last picture offered a specific item with which i can give certain enchantments to a certain item.
Like on this shield, the light blue stat at the bottom is what i chose, and i got 44% out of 50%.
There is still a lot i need to learn when it comes to the Forsaken Masters, and crafting...and...a few other things in game.
EDIT: Here is a Wiki page about the Masters, i do not know whether it is complete or not. ( Probably not. )
