I actually have plans to take community questions, like yours, and make video tutorials. I'll use this as the first one and get a video out hopefully this weekend. Thanks for the questions!
Awesome, looking forward to it! I had sent you an email as well. Wasn't sure when you'd see this -
So this video is using epic's ability system (which is apparently pretty difficult to grasp and use and it's c++ only). Was curious if Able Ability can do something like it?
Yup. If you go to the Tutorials page there is a video called Burning man where we go into Tag based effects (the cubes burning in this example). The explosion can simply be done using a projectile that causes a sphere query and applies a force to all the objects it hits. The Target Mannequin I use in all my examples does exactly that.
That's not really related to Able, but I don't mind giving you a push in the right direction. What you described is a "Fly Cam". So you still use Forward, Right Vectors, you just also grab the mouse delta X and delta Y changes and use those as the Yaw/Pitch respectively. So, the mouse rotates the character, and ASWD just moves you forward/backward/left/right using the rotated Forward/Right vectors.
I did a quick google search for UE4 Fly Cam and found this blueprint tutorial:

Give that a shot, and just leave out the roll (unless you want it).
Would you be able to upload a YouTube video of the system being using in a multiplayer shooter environment? Curious to see how abilities are used with raycasts/projectiles.
