Seems you're missing the grub2-tools package for some useful tools,
such as grub2-install and grub2-mkconfig.

what do i do with these image files? how to view them?
isn't Downloads a peculiar place for documentation?
Those are downloads you've done. The files don't belong to Fedora.
isn't there some standard/automatic way to use grub2?
or do I still need a series of "configure" steps?
There's lots of documentation on GRUB2. The changes (such as commands like
grub2-mkconfig) have been discussed on the mailing-lists too, many times.
