I'm going to try to ansver things as far as my limited knowledge of this goes, then Fred can clean up the mess afterwards :)
1: Judging from how BG1tutu and IWG2 did this, I'd say no. bg1tutu overided entire game in all effects. IWG2 for some reason refused to change start map so you startedin targos, and could be teleported out from there, but never managed to get past that one map, then the game crashed.
2: They should be the exactlly same thing, Both beeing characters generated in IWD2 engine. Naturally copying one over to the other (either having two separate installs, or uninstalling/installing iwd1tutu etc) should probablly lead in "working" but lacking items and spells etc that are not the same in the two of them, this occationally might crash the gameusing this character, but commonly not.
3: From what Fred has been talking about thus far, nope. Step 1 getting iwd1 converted into iwd2 (and roughly playable). Step 2: We'll see when he gets there :p
4: All monsters will ahve to be converted, so they should at least get assigned skills and feats etc, if they use them or not is something else entirelly. Might be a project best of for some sort of "patch" mod for the convertion as there is some talk about. Same with monster strategies etc.
Well, if I said anything wrong, I'm fairly certain Fred will come and correct in a few days time.
