2) If I were to get a new PS3, would I be able to just take out the hard drive on my old one and pop it in the new one? Otherwise is there some other way to extract my files?

Yeah you'll need to get an external hard drive and run the system backup to copy all of your files. Then on the new PS3 choose restore system backup. If you were to just swap out the hard drive the new ps3 would automatically reformat it.
