Transferring Data to New Device:

As for selecting what to transfer then yes, you can choose what to transfer. Create a Time Machine Backup of your current back, and then use Migration Assistant for this.

Yes. Either from your ‘old’ machine or a Time Machine backup.

No, it's not very fine grained.
