The mail folder is enough, no need to backup the program files.

It's useful, but not necessary -- if you, for any reason don't have
registry information, don't panic -- your mail is still safe (as well
as accounts configuration, address-book, filters and so on), -- you'll
just have to do more things to have it back. Be careful -- the
exported registry contains information about your registration of TB!
Don't let it be copied by someone, who hasn't paid for TB.

If you use registry export you have to use the same place indeed. But
if you want to move your mail folder, you can either alter the
exported registry file to have new paths, or just not use registry
export and just re-configure TheBat!'s properties after reinstall
(note: TheBat!'s properties, NOT mail-base properties which aren't
stored in registry). An old wish is, to have Bat's properties also
pulled out of reg.
