Why aren’t repetition codes used to encode qubits in superposition states?

I just finished reading the section of the qiskit textbook on quantum error correction using repetition codes(https://qiskit.org/textbook/ch-quantum-hardware/error-correction-repetition-code.html) and ...

How to create the logical $|0_L\rangle$ state for the Steane's 7-qubit code?

I don't know how to prepare using Qiskit the following state in order to implement a Steane's 7-qubit code circuit (I omit the normalization factor): \begin{align*} |0_L\rangle =&|0000000\rangle+|...

How do I interpret the readout error for a quantum computer?

For example, the ibmqx2 computer has the most recent readout error of $4.40 \cdot 10^{-2}$. Does this mean per 1000 measurements, 44 faulty results exist?
