On page 32 it reads that a Berserker "cannot use any skills, Edges, or maneuvers that require concentration, including Shooting and Taunt, but not Intimidation." Would this include the Level Headed Edge? Level Headed requires a Smarts of d8+, so it seems to require some intelligence to use, and from a purely practical standpoint a character in the grip of a Berserker rage doesn't strike me as being especially level headed.

Also, would the bonuses for Berserk stack with those from making a wild attack, giving the character a +4 to Fighting and damage, and a -4 to his Parry, or is it assumed that a Berserker is already essentially making wild attacks?

I'd say so, but the final decision would be up to the GM. After all, a character with Berserk and a d8 Smarts already has a problem just kicking off his Edge.

It stacks.
