One thing I'm noticing about this thread is the lack of consideration of OS. iTunes works on Mac and Windows, and it's easy to forget that. Solutions for one OS don't always work for the other. I don't think this thread is the place to discuss issues between iTunes and the OS (file system, hardware, etc.), but I'm not the original poster. Limiting it to just iTunes, as in interacting with the program itself, seems the right focus for this thread.

It's really simple. Consolidate your library (which copies all your media to the set iTunes library folder), then copy the folder to the hard drive. You're done.

On the OS your music ISN'T stored, hold down ALT while opening iTunes. You will have an option to open another library, browse to your iTunes folder on the other partition. Click OK and you're done.

You can convert files straight from iTunes. Right-click and choose "Create [format] Version". Format and bitrate can be changed in Preferences, Import Settings.

You didn't specify which OS you use, so I'll assume Windows. Does she use Windows Media Player at all? Even by accident? Is it installed on your computer? Is WMP associated with any file? I've heard numerous anecdotes WMP mysteriously deletes stuff. The only files iTunes will delete automatically are old podcasts (unless you change it) and rentals from the iTunes Store. Another idea is the playlists she might be using. If she uses the Recently Added playlist, it may have dropped off the list, and if so, it's still in the Music library.

You'll have to get your music off the iPod using third-party software. As you and most people found out the hard way, native iTunes and iPod/iPhone/iPad syncing is one-way (from iTunes to device). Getting your actual music won't be a problem, but don't hold your breath for ratings and playlists.

It might be lame, but iTunes automatically fills in the sort name and album based on certain criteria. For bands starting with "The", iTunes will omit that in the sort name tag so searching for artists alphabetically is more logical (at least to me). Fuckin' smug rear end bands think they're "the" poo poo.

Apple smugness answer: well since iTunes is managing your music, why do you care about the filenames? iTunes is designed so you don't ever need to browse your music through Finder or Windows Explorer ever again. Nonsmug answer: iTunes tries to ensure cross-platform and cross-file system compatibility, so it replaces all special characters including periods with underscores. Why periods? I'm not sure, but perhaps it's to not confuse the user and/or the operating system.

iTunes only deletes old podcasts and movie rentals without user intervention. It won't delete anything else without user confirmation. So your girlfriend or you are dumb. Congrats.

Since my iPod Classic was set to automatically sync to the old library I know it's going to want to wipe everything and put it all back on when I connect it, but what happens to the couple of games I bought for it? Will it let me put them on there, and if so will the progress in those games be deleted?

Probably keep your iTunes media folder on an external hard drive then point iTunes to it every time you reinstall.
