So Apple included a setting I can't even use? Well that's dumb! I hope they realize the mistake and remove it in a future update.

Your iPod touch can't receive phone calls, but it can recieve FaceTime calls.

Check Settings > Facetime > Reply with Message

It means if someone messages you while it is locked and you are busy you can respond with a preset message.

That's for when you decline a call. Tap Settings > Phone > Reply with Message, to setup a custom reply.

How would they decline a call on a Touch?

I don't use it, I'd suggest downloading the manual from the iBookstore or using the bookmarks in Safari to the manual and checking.

No worries.
