Well, the outbound IP requests will necessarily translate to root domains, whether it's HTTP, SMTP, NNTP, etc.
HTTP just means the Internet, and usually the WWW areas. So an IP address will lead to "www.yahoo.com" but won't lead to "www.yahoo.com/goatsex" or whatever.
SMTP is just an email protocol, so the IP request will lead to the server with that IP. You won't be able to discern who is contacting the IP or what they're transferring back and forth, if all you have is the IP. This is not to be confused with web mail (like Hotmail or Yahoo Mail) which still goes through HTTP.
NNTP is Usenet newsgroups, and again, it just points to the server, not specific newsgroups.
The log table only records the most recent requests, up to say 50 kilobytes worth. That may be hours or days depending on the traffic.
You can access your router directly by entering its IP address in a Web browser. The IP is specific to your brand, though, so you'll have to look it up in your manual. From there, with most routers these days, you can configure all router settings. This can only be accessed by someone on the router's internal network.
