Answer 1

This is what I follow.
First Run upgrade advisor 2008 r2 against sql 2005 to confim there are no issues,.
Check depreceated features , discontinued functionality, breaking changes etc in sql 2008 r2.

Once this is done, depending upon the criticality of databases I do a performance test on the new server. If doing performance tests then I do all these below steps before hand and do a database refresh during cutover.
So basically take backup of all databases and move it to the new server.
Now need to move the logins using this KB article - <cite class="_Rm">support.microsoft.com/kb/918992 </cite>
Move all jobs/linked servers etc
Setup all the configuration in sp_configure.
Update stats of all the databases + Reindexing of all indexes.
