1) That sounds good to me. You might like to hear from one of the guys who has already gone through this first though.

2) I didn't have it happen to me (I have exclusions set), but it sounds like it only deleted elicen40.dll so your saved_games folder should be fine. Depending on your setup, saved_games is probably in a completely different folder anyway. If you want to be as safe as possible, though, just go ahead and backup your saved_games folder (and others if you've modded the game in any way) before you do anything. EDIT: I'm pretty sure re-installing the game won't delete the saved_games folder, but I'm not 100% sure as I can't remember the last time I had to reinstall when I still had saved games, so to be on the absolute safe side maybe you should just go ahead and back it up.

3) Right-click on the a ball icon in your system tray, select "program settings" then "exclusions", then click "add" and select the folders you want to exclude. I exclude the OOTP folders that are in the program files folder and the users folder as well as an archives folder I have.
