For every level of JLPT, there's a required amount of both Kanji and Words, I get that we must be able to read and write the required amount of Kanji, but does Words mean that we don't need to know to read and write the Kanji of said words ? Like just knowing what it means in English and write it in Hiragana ?
No, the kanji and vocabulary for the JLPT aren't connected. If you take the test, any words that you aren't expected to know the kanji for will have the hiragana.
Okay, then with the provided hiragana for that Kanji, we must know the meaning of it to understand the questions and thus give the right answer. Is my understanding correct ?
So like, instead of us having to list the required amount of Words, the test would give texts with said words and let us read it with hiragana and get what it means ?
Everything is multiple choice, you don't have to make lists of any words or kanji. The first section asks you for the correct kanji character or reading for the word in the sentence, and every subsequent section either writes words entirely in hiragana, or provides furigana over the kanji.
Do you know where I can read in Hiragana and Katakana ? I read news in NHK Easy, but I kind of want stories, the stories in Syosetu contain too many unknown Kanji for me to read fluently.
I need to read more hiragana and katakana, as of now, I find myself writing it easily but when it comes to reading it, I get stuck sometimes, which makes understanding the passages slower. I do understand after listening to the spoken passages though.
Look into graded readers, which are stories made specifically for learners and will limit the complexity of the writing and grammar to match your level. Kanji completely aside, you won't be able to understand more than bits and pieces of the vast majority of native works before you're well into intermediate grammar (or later).
