question
About the material of this grip does it feel the same with the body (leather/rubber) and are the color the same?
The grip is textured to feel exactly like the body but has a very slight difference in feel. You have to be thinking about it to notice though.

question
Do you happen to know whether its weather-sealed? Especially around the insert section of battery compartment? Thanks
It's not "weather sealed", but I've used mine in rain more than once over the past several years with no issues whatsoever. If the rain is very heavy, I use plastic covers over the camera/lens. In light rain and drizzle I don't usually use the covers and never had any trouble.

question
DO both batteries slide into the bottom of the grip? Doesn't show this very clearly.
You can click on the " " symbol for the product photo and the seventh image shows the battery tray. It holds both batteries and slides into the grip from the end, just like the Canon grip for the 7D Mark II does.

I am making an assumption here, but the Canon grip has a magnesium alloy body, the Vello cost is a quarter the price of Canon's, is it all plastic?
Yes, the Vello grip is polycarbonate.
