Well 1st do a nandroid backup sync your contacts with google settings accounts& sync click your google account then sync contacts and then when u flash the rom sync it your contacts will return on ur phone...for apps use titanium backup from the market and as for messages not sure

correct. you can also do a batch restore. just do not restore any system data.

Yes don't do that i made the mistake of restoring system data one time and it really screwed me up :/

I agree with what everyone said so far -- use TB for backing up apps+app_data only -- and I will just add:

To save all your SMS & MMS, use SMS backup+ (saves all your texts under a gmail label "SMS")

If you want to back up music playlists, dictionary, bookmarks, and alarms, use My Backup Root (it gives the option to backup more than those I listed, but just be careful about anything you don't really need backed up to avoid conflicts between roms).
