Higher value means more sensitive settings.
I will add this line to description.

I will fix it.

I will fix it in Documentation and also in source code.
Copy paste error...

OK will be fixed.

According to the datasheet it is dimensionless, no more info.
A higher value means a larger difference in capacitance is required for a touch to be registered.

Usually yes, but again there are no units in datasheet.
There is note that gain is based on capacitance touch pad capacitance range
1 - 5-50pF
2 - 0-25pF 
4 - 0-12.5pF
I will add this to description and change items to enum: [1, 2, 4]

So are these changes fine for you?
If yes I prepare new patch revision.

Best regards,
