ilvl more or less describes where the item came from, not what it does. A very good item can have a low ilvl, and a rubbish item can have a high ilvl. It just depends where you got it.
The required level to use is not really related to ilvl at all. It depends on the properties of the item, which indirectly use the ilvl when they are generated. It is of no use to you when you are re-rolling.
When an item is re-rolled, the ilvl is used to set a "highest affix" that the item can get. However, it can still get all the affixes below that one, so you can still get really low level ones. It is random. The point of re-rolling is (more or less) to keep going till you get a high affix that you want.
The interest in ilvl is to make sure the charm you are using is high enough. It is a shame that ilvl is hidden in the game. But, if you remember where you found an item you can work it out. Also, if an item has a certain mod on it, you know that its ilvl must be at least high enough to get that one (does that make sense? )
