For small version changes like that, it's safe to copy the .config and
then do a make oldconfig.

Do *NOT* do this for 2.4.x -> 2.6.x, though -- things will end up subtly
(or not so subtly) broken...

Use your old one. Just copy your old .config in, then `make oldconfig`.
You will then be prompted to make decisions about any changes between
the two kernel versions.

Yes, no.
Copy the .config over and run through a 'make oldconfig'.
A straight 'make {menu,x}config' will, I believe, just take the default for 
any new options automagically

Yes, you can use it but you should take a look to new options or deprecated.

Cheers.
