Why is lo the answer if its referring to them? Is el trabajo what lo is referring to?

Your approach to address this subject is confusing. Please consider rewriting the teaching or add a new teaching in ONE lesson addressing all possibilities. Include all possible questions and answers about what date,day, month, year etc.

I miss the rationale behind this. is this something to learn 'by heart'? as in, just learn these exceptions and you're good to go?... or is there some reasoning, eg. that without the accent it would be pronounced wrong.. this because of ?

No entiendo por qué el Rey hizo eso. Él lo hizo porque quiso

Unless the Spanish have a definition of "conjunction" that differs from the one I've always understood, both "por qué" and 
"porque" are both being used as conjunctions in those sentences. It is the sense of their use which differs.

Can these two uses be distinguished in spoken Spanish and if so, how?

Is it too simplistic to say that:

Sentir is followed by a Noun or que, and

Sentirse is followed by an Adjective/Adverb or como.

Now that I write it out, perhaps it's not easier to remember.
