The star system is actually pretty consistent. Just that you also need to take into account the background color.
So, a 2* mob is at most +20 levels over the basic region level. A purple star means a 200-250 region. You can also learn region levels by heart, if you play enough :)
The stars themselves don't tell you much about the mob, however. Two mobs, both with 3 red stars (level 180-190) will still have their unique properties. I wouldn't attack a torbak unless it's several levels below me, for instance, whereas I wouldn't mind a plant that's slightly above my level.
