5) I don't know for sure as my Charname didn't have *that* much experience, but I'd venture a guess and say nothing is remembered - 161K is the max.
Helmet of Balduran and Chainmail +3 seem good to me. The helmet is always useful, and the armour will be at least in the beginning portions of BG2. Incidentally, I chose exactly those two. However, I never play with the Kazgaroth stuff, so I don't know whether that might come in handier.
Um....
In a recent import of my BG1 Character into BG2 (via Tutu):
1. Spells memorized WERE transferred.
2. Abilities "Appeared" to remain the same, But considering alignment, they could have merely been reset. In any event, it doesn't make "Much" difference.
3. Weapon specializations WERE transferred.
4. HP were the same, including (I think) the HP from my now defunked familiar.
5. any XP above 161k is not recorded and does not transfer over.
