Woudn't it be easier to untar the kernel directly in /usr/src, or even
do yum install kernel-source-what-the-hell ?

You forgot creating the symlink:
ln -s linux-xxx linux

Why twice?
Once you have .config copyed run just 'make xconfig', those options
which are compatible with the older .config will appear as already
marked.

This is no always a good choice.

No clues. What is this supposed to do?
Try this mantra:
* get the tarball and stuff it in /usr/src
* tar xvfj linux-xxx.tar.bz2 ; ln -s linux-xxx linux ; cd linux ; \
cp /boot/config-xxx $PWD
* make xconfig ; make dep ; make bzImage ; make modules ; make
modules_install
* cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-xxx
* cp /usr/src/linux/System.map /boot/System.map-xxx
* cp /usr/src/linux/.config /boot/config-xxx
Make the initrd, edit grub.conf and reboot.
