if you just flash the main all of that will stay.
if you flash the file system that will all be erased.

no you don't HAVE to update the FS and custpack if you are just going from a generic FW to a newer generic FW. I would recommend it but you don't have to.
The only time you will need to "customize" is if you flash the file system.. If you just flash the main firmware the FS stays un changed.
If you want to change the language you are going to have to flash all 3 things. MAIN,FS,and then customize w/ a pack that matches that FS.

Well...not really.
You can have different MAIN and FS versions but it's not indicated because it can cause bugs.
To change the firmware version, it's recommended to do a full flash. That means MAIN + FS + custompack.

No , like others written you must if you wan`t to change language or go to a new version make a full flash. You can only download all files from phone to pc ( pictures, mp3 ... ) and then copy them back when you made a full flash.
Nice day
