Feints cannot hit, do not consume ammunition, do not unready a weapon, and do not consume a target's parries or blocks. Deceptive attack at best describes a very limited category of forcing, which has uses other than hitting.

Well, 'Forcing attacks' normally cannot hit either, because one only uses them against targets who can semi-reliably dodge a first attack, and Forcing Attacks sacrifice probability to hit with the first attack in a chain in order to decrease probability of Dodge against a second or third. Feints don't normally consume Blocks/Parries, but a Feint that is Victorious By Four is effectively as good as consuming one AD, even better.
So the big difference is spending ammo.

Not in a situation with multiple combatants (or multiple attacks from a single combatant).

Conditional. There are ways of passing Feints to an ally, and of making it apply to multiple attacks in a single turn of action.
