First of all all the best for upgrading!!!
Yes you are right. (but be careful in recovery go to install zip from sdcard>choose zip from sdcard option and don't select apply update.zip option)
No you don't need to be rooted to flash cwm or cm7. cm7 comes pre rooted.
Wipe data and wipe cache partition both before and after flashing cm7 for better performance and to flash without errors...
Yes the steps are same to flash to froyo and gb. Just get a gb or froyo rom and flash in odin ( this will remove custom recovery also)
Though steps might be same the oc and other patches might be different..
For partitioning your sdcard, go to CWM recovery>advance options>Partition your sdcard . THe size depends of how much apps will you install but at any cost 500 mb should be enough unless you want your large games to be installed on sd-ext.
