I haven't played omaha hi/lo, but limit betting usually works like this:

4-8 means blinds of 2 and 4, first two betting rounds are in increments of 4 (4 to call, a raise is 8, etc), last two betting rounds are in increments of 8.

The kill is activated when a player wins two pots in a row, and turns it into a 6/12 game - the blinds stay the same, but the killer (player who won two pots in a row) posts a blind 6, and it is 6 to call preflop, 12 to raise, etc. Last two betting rounds are in increments of 12.

There are many different variations and house rules regarding kills, but that's more or less what I've seen as standard.

Since it is a hi/lo game the kill pot activates when one person wins the entire pot over $X dollars, maybe $60 pre-rake, as opposed to winning two pots in a row. Because it is a split game it is less likely for someone to win two hands in a row. More likely to win with no low on board.

It is very common live.

EDIT: A kill in O8 is very common live. It is played with a half-kill as described, a full kill, or I'm sure other other multiples of the blind.
