Is it at all dependent on my PC intelligence or charisma or anything like that or maybe just options i receive in it are?
Or dialogue options in those cases are the same for any character build?
The same, of course. Here is an example:
"Wait! It's not too late, just listen to me. We work for House Aurelian. Help me and the most powerful House will be in your debt. Kill me and you'll get a handful of coins from your masters. What's it going to be, assassin?"
1. "You died when I accepted the contract. There is no way out now."
2. "What kind of help?"
On topic, what other things our lore will give us other then understanding foreign languages? Any other specifics you can share?
A lot of things.

1. Go in
2. Proceed slowly, examining every inch of the walls and the floor.
3. Take six steps and examine the area. (you get this option only if you read the message)
4. Leave."

Yes, lore helps you forge documents. Very useful.

My apologies, lord….?
Taliades. I'm sure you've heard that name before.
It's an honor, your lordship. I was always impressed by the battle your House won at Nicaea.
1. Yes, it was a great battle, wasn't it? Nice of you to remember.
2. [lore] My House had fought for the Emperor at Trudoth, East Beck, and Stanias. Since you don't know what you're talking about, stop wasting my time and open that door!"
Etc.
I presume we can increase it like any other skill ... or it can be increased also by finding and studying ancient scripts, books etc.
Yes. It can be increased by reading certain things.
