Yes an advantage of slings over bows/xbows is that damage bonus from strength applies. Funnily enough, I'm playing modded BG2 atm and Jaheira has been doing really nice damage with only a sling +2, 3 stars in Sling, and 21 STR.

As for Potions of Heroism etc., I believe the ingame descriptions say "warriors", rather than "fighters". Warriors include all bruiser-type classes - Rangers, Paladins, Monks, and Barbarians.
