The biggest step with many consequences from Core 1 to 2 is the switch from kernel 2.4 to 2.6. There is too the switch from Xfree86 to xorg, newer Gnome and KDE, renamed GUI config tools. > 3.

All depends on the specific hardware you use. Overall the kernel 2.6 is not that far as the kernel 2.4 is developed now. No general answer can be given. > 4.

You can risk an upgrade, less "risky" using the CDs, more "risky" doing an online upgrade using yum or up2date. For each upgrade have a complete and valid backup in backhand. > 5.
