Is this useful for annual potted flowers as well?

Yes, it helps establish a strong root system for annuals and perennials.

This Bio Tone says it is an 8 lb. bag,but when checking out it says 4 lb. Which price is correct?.

I am not sure for that but you can always contact saller.

Does this attract slugs? I have a real problem with slugs in my garden and I don't want to attract them more

No. It is put into the planting hole then cover by the plant or tree. Great treatment for slugs is Bug-Geta.

Does this help with the lawn?

I’ve never used it on the lawn, only used it when potting or repotting plants. This is the best starter fertilizer I have ever used. My plants took off in growth and blooms!
