As it has only been previously available for purchase by Amazon readers in the US (and I therefore haven't yet read it), I am assuming that 'The Inheritance' will be one of the short stories that will appear in Robin's anthology of the same name (the one you mean), due to be released next year. As far as I can tell, this short story is mentioned/detailed on the TV Trope page as "a short story detailing a girl regaining her family's prestige in Bingtown". I assume this from other reviews I have read.
The prequel that is referred to on the Trope would be 'Homecoming' which details the settlement of the Rain Wilds and this short story appears in Legends II.
The related story that is missing, 'Words Like Coins', is a short story of Robin's which features in A Fantasy Medley by Subterranean Press. Here's a little blurb: Robin Hobb revisits her Farseer world in “Words Like Coins.” Mirrifen, a failed hedge-witch’s apprentice who has married to find security finds that threatened by a severe drought and the appearance of a pregnant female pecksie. It may make an appearance in the upcoming anthology but I doubt it.
