Chances are Nintendo wont improve the online, because most of their customers dont care about online.
Why would the Wii HD, an Updated version of the Current gen Wii be cheaper? Its going to be more expensive.
As for the Media format,Nintendo goes with their own formats.

They'll improve online incrementally. At the very least you can probably expect "system wide" friend codes, a decent chat solution and a Club Nintendo centered account/content migration path. Probably a more expansive DD effort too, and more formats for the Virtual Console (Gamecube, Dreamcast, Saturn, 3DO, etc).
And Nintendo goes with Matsushita's media formats. And at this point, Blu-ray is more theirs than Sony's even...

They need to do away with the friend codes, the Wii needs to have a mic, it needs some kind of hard drive, at least 5 gigs and as for Blu ray, sure the disc may be Bluray but it wont play Blu Ray movies which negates the move aspect of Blu Ray.
By the time Nintendo does all these things that i mentioned, or even the things youv mentioned, PS3 would of already done it.

I don't think they'll do away with FC entirely, though I do think they'll streamline the system next gen. 3DS will probably give us a good idea of where Wii2 is headed in terms of network infrastructure, transfer and security (though it'll have it's own unique additions, likely a 3G/whisper network).
Wii2 won't have a HDD though and it probably won't play DVD/BRD movies. And really it doesn't need either, they'll just add more flash (likely 2GB to 8GB) and use a custom BRD based format for games only. Technology isn't what sells game systems, games do.
