The colored graph in your agenda view.
A setting of
org-habit-following-days 7
org-habit-preceding-days 21
org-habit-show-habits-only-for-today t
will show that graph, representing the past 3 weeks and the next week
ahead in your *daily* Agenda for today.
If you have a task like "Water plants" that should be done
.+2d/4d, you will see how well you have been keeping up with it:
"*" marks DONE, "!" marks today.
The background color reminds you of the "range" you set up:
Green is great, yellow is okay, red is ... bad ;).

Yes, better to keep the headlines short for habits or the graph will cut
it off.

See above.

From what I read, I don't think org-habit is the tool you want.
I found they work best for fairly regular tasks; I use them for cleaning
tasks like "Do vacuum cleaning .+3d/5d".

If you are ahead, on schedule, late for this *current* habit now (!)
and for the past e.g. three weeks (asterisk).
