Turn on the AutoMerge function, (in Adding Books) then use Copy To Library to send books into the new library. If Authors match exactly and titles are close enough, they will AutoMerge. Or, turn off AutoMerge and use the Find Duplicates Plugin after you have finished and manually use Merge.

2) Is there a library book limit--in dealing with performance? (e.g., adding new books/authors, searches)

No, there's no limit that you will run into, but you may prefer to do them in batches.
I disagree with the post telling you to keep books you won't read in a separate library. My library is as large as the one you will end up with, and I'd much rather keep all the books in one so I can search and find the book I want to read. There's no way I could tell now what I'll be reading next month.
