Well, let me give you one man's opinion.

1. I believe that unless you are an "expert," you will see no difference. I have yet to figure out (with the exception of a projector) why you would want to do any video switching/ upconverting in an audio receiver. Let the video equipment do that.

2. HDMI is digital. Are you referring to the audio on an optical cable?

3. No, see #1.

4. Run the component cables to your TV. Run the optical cable from your DVD to your receiver. Make sure that you don't have (or compensate for) lip sync.

5. I'd get the 80s and be done with it.

6. I've been looking at this issue for months and still remain undecided. I'm sort of leaning toward buying a reciver and using the pre outs to drive external amps for the fronts and maybe the center.

For what its worth and I hope that it helps.
