Verb "есть" in Present Tense in Russian usually skipped. У нее три ноги.
Try to avoid usage of verb "иметь". "люди, которые их имеют" = "их владельцы"
"city of Moscow" = "город Москва" no preposition
"three-legged" = "трехногие"
принести людям - no preposition к
давать свиней - Instrumental required
charm (here) - талисман (брелок is just a pendant with no magic)
давали свиней как талисманы - Accusative
longer (about time period) - дольше
good luck, good fortune = "удача"
bad luck, bad fortune = "неудача"

Not even Genetive there? "Город Москвы" ?

No. "Город Москвы" means "a town is property of Moscow" or "appurtenant to Moscow".
Sometimes you don't need to translate "of". And sometimes of = из.
