First off, welcome to MobileRead, urklore!

Save 'em as an RTF, import the Doc file into Connect and let it convert to RTF, or print them as PDFs sized to the screen -- I don't remember the dimensions off-hand, but they're around here somewhere. (rummage, rummage)

You may want to do the PDF option for that because for some reason RTF doesn't display in-line images and such at the moment.

Yes, but the fonts appear much smaller on the Reader, general consensus is that 16~18 points is a good general target for RTF, but sized PDF's likely wouldn't need the fonts bumped up.

If you enter them in the File=>Properties menu they will.

That one would probably come out pretty well, actually, you don't have any pix or complicated table layouts in it. If you did a sized PDF, you might want to print it in landscape so that you'd get the wider margin aligned with the text, but I'd suggest you play with it to see what works best for you. I can't mock it up for you at the moment as my wife wants me to get off-line, they're funny that way sometimes.
