Another possibility:

"System Preferences->Keyboard->Keyboard shortcuts" and deactivate the 
shortcut to dim the screen

Where are these files located? If you've placed them in ~/.TeXmacs/packages, 
then they should work, unless they depend on stuff which is no longer present 
in your new system. Try to check for broken dependencies and copy all your 
custom styles to that folder. Alternatively, place them along your .tm files.

I'm not sure I understand this. But if you want to always start a new buffer 
with some default settings or contents, you can put any scheme code in 
~/.TeXmacs/progs/init-buffer.scm, for instance changing document properties, 
inserting contents, etc. You'll need to read quite a few pages of 
documentation, though ;)

Best,
