I reset the device to zip, download and update B&N to 1.0.1, then perform the latest autorooting process. I install the pro version from the market and likely activate with my purchase code, and then tell it to restore the system from the backup file on my SD card, and walla, all my old apps are installed, along with paid apps and all their affiliated codes.
Sound about right?

More or less, yes. There are separate backup files for each app, all stored in a folder on your SD card.
When you install the Pro version, it puts a file on your SD card that will automatically give you the Pro version whenever you install the free version from the Market, so you don't even have to track down purchase codes. Just don't delete the file.
You also have the option of backing up and/or reinstalling just the app itself, or the app plus all it's data (such as your Angry Birds progress, so you don't have to start over after wiping everything out). There are times you'd not want to reinstall the data (due to bad settings, or something) so TB lets you decide if you want to bring back the data or not.
