Answer 1

Here is another option if you want to display anything other than images and videos in your feed: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rss-custom-fields/

All of your custom fields will now be displayed in your feed.

Further options to be able to select which custom fields display in a feed will be available in subsequent releases of the plugin!

Answer 2

You also have

do_action('rss_item')

that runs in the loop for every item in the RSS feed. Hook in to that and output anything extra you need in to the feed item.

To show the excerpt instead of the entire article, go to "reading" in Settings section of your admin menu and half way through the options there's a setting to use excerpts instead of full text.

No plugins required. Just a little custom programming.

Custom fields for Feeds Wordpress plugin

This puts images or videos into your feeds through the use of custom fields. You can alter the custom field Keys and what is displayed.
