1)What rights will I be given as a extended family member of an EEA national?
The right to live and work in the UK. This is also proof you can show to potential landlords that you are residing legally in the UK, and that you have the right to rent.
2)Can I travel without a passport with my residency card?
No.
I repeat: No.
Your identity outside of your country of origin is attested by your passport, and by your passport only. This is a basic principle of international travel.
Now... there are exceptions for this rule in regions who have agreements (like the EU) to allow their own citizens to travel with national identity cards within the region (but your are NOT a EU citizen, and you do NOT have a EU national identity card. The Residence Card is NOT a national identity card).
So, you need to carry both your passport and your Residence Card when you travel, to allow you to enter another country, and to enter the UK back again.
