Not sure if this would be better in the "rules" section, but here goes.
So, just to be clear, if I'm using it to mark a enemy as my favoured foe, and use a consentration spell or get hit hard enough, I lose the favoured foe effect?

One thing worth noting though is that Favored Foe triggers on a hit; this means that with some concentration spells you can sidestep conflicts to a degree.
For example, instead of activating Favored Foe at the first opportunity, you could open with a Lightning Arrow and activate Favored Foe after hitting (so you would also add it to that attack), in which case there's no conflict as Lightning Arrow has already triggered by that point. So you can get a short duration concentration spell in plus Favored Foe.
You're also getting a bunch of free uses of Favored Foe, though they are finite; this is why it's not necessarily a replacement to Hunter's Mark, but can be a good compliment to it (as it means you don't have to spend a spell slot to add some damage for a short fight).

Yes.
S***. Thanks for the confirmation.
