I have been away from the game for over 2 year and eotm seems to be a new feature. What exactly is it? I understand it is a smaller version of WvW. Is it fun, is it good for relearning WvW? Is it worth doing while leveling instead of pve leveling?

EotM (Edge of the Mists) was designed to be a holding area for players to roam while they are in a queue waiting to get into a regular WvW map. Since queues for a map happens VERY rarely, EotM has turned into a giant karma map. Most people use it today to quickly level a character and get WvW experience without there being any major repercussions to the main WvW fight.
Other than maybe boredom is there any reason to not level there? From what I have read it seems to be the fastest exp. Do you get a chance to learn yet ur character. I have 3 80s from back in the day so I am not worried about map completion and story line. Do you still need to go back and get all of you hero points?
You do not need to get any hero points, you get enough from leveling. Eotm is great for leveling and gaining karma as well. You won't learn much their as it's mostly just moving around the map taking things with the large group (Zerg) and usually very little opposition. So if you are just trying to get a character maxed up this is a perfect way of doing that. The only way to level faster is crafting, and that is quite expensive.
