I'm lvl 15 and am getting a little bored being a mage (Mostly destruction, its like lvl 52), and figure I'd try dual-wielding warrior....So I have a few questions

I have a novice level bound sword spell, but they dont say how good they are, so would they work instead of going out and buying/making some swords? Also, swords, mace or battle axe? Any of them really better than the other?

Swords have better kill animations imo.

Weapon Base Damage
1-) Hammer: Most powerful and slowest
2-) Axe: Middle
3-) Sword. Least powerful and fastest

Perks:
1-) Hammer: Most direct damage(Armor Ignore)
2-) Axe: Most damage over time(Bleeding)
3-) Sword: Most double damage chance (Critical)
