A migration guide is a good idea. What do you want to focus on - the 
GNOME desktop environment and general tools or something else? You might 
want to talk to pkovar. He is doing some stuff related to GNOME and 
would probably be thrilled to hear from you.

Your questions are very good. the only improvement I can see is in 
phrasing. I would probably use open questions instead of or in 
combination with Yes/No questions to get more detailed information:

"What do you do when you want to find and install a program but do not 
know the exact name for? (For example, a program that helps you use your 
digital camera)? "

"Are you able to find a replacement for the common programs you are 
accustomed to using? How do you go about it?"
