1. Anything played by the Oppo will scaled by the oppo.
2. Scaling in most mid line and above receivers is very good to great.
3. The AV receiver will take care of separating out the audio and directing it to your speakers.
Are you thinking of getting a stereo receiver or separate amps that will be supplied a signal by an AVR? If you plan to go to 5.1 I would go with a 5.1 receiver now.
On 5.1 surround:
When I bought my system my original intent was mostly music. I thought it would be great to get a little better sound for movies. I was blown away by how much surround sound improved the movie experience. If you plan to move to 5.1, do it sooner rather than later.
