If you have a database backup, you could import that into your new database on your new host
Depends on what it is. There's a plugin named HTML Import 2 which may help. How many pages/posts do you have? Can you paste a link to your site please.
You could use the framework on its own and add styling to it using a child theme
There are also several free child themes you can install with the framework http://www.studiopress.com/tag/free-child-themes
All the child themes are fairly easy to customize once you become familiar with the Genesis theme settings and your child themes style.css file.
All the styling in all the child themes is editable
You can add your logo to a background which is 960?—115 and make the background transparent using a tool like Paint.net or Gimp
You could use a plugin that adds introductory content/category descriptions before the posts on the archive pages Rich Text Tags, Categories, and Taxonomies
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rich-text-tags/
Or you could add code to your functions.php which also does this if you're using the WordPress SEO by Yoast plugin.
You could add it to a white or transparent background using a tool like paint.net
You can add Vertical and Horizontal spacing to images using the Advanced Image Settings
Find this line in your child themes style.css file and add the new property in bold
.menu-primary, .menu-secondary, #header .menu {
clear: both;
color: #AAA49F;
font-size: 12px;
margin: 0 auto;
overflow: hidden;
text-shadow: 1px 1px #000000;
text-transform: uppercase;
width: 100%;
background: url (images/breadcrumb.png);
}
You can align the image using the Advanced Image Settings horizontally or vertically.
You can also hide the title using CSS

Try this.
What i did was register a new widget area and hook it in using a conditional tag but i also added a page_blog template in the child theme.
The portfolio page template looks like this. http://theotisbeasley.net/videos/
You can determine how many videos you want to display on each page and style them fairly easily.
I have used it for slides Example: http://wpsites.net/slides/
I don't think the Sample Child comes with a portfolio page template or custom post type for this type of page however, you have at least 3 choices.
Change themes - Pick one with the same sizes as Sample Theme
Create a portfolio page template using Brian's tutorial - http://www.briangardner.com/portfolio-page/
Install the portfolio plugin (very beta) - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/genesis-portfolio/
Use the content columns shortcode and then paste it into the widget.

You may need to add support for shortcodes in widgets
add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');
Your question different fonts
How do you plan on using different fonts without writing CSS?
The code i gave you is only a solution for the conditional tag. You'll need to write the code and include the conditional tag. Maybe Nick can help if you send a email to support.
http://w3schools.com/css/ is excellent
You can start by learning about the i.d and class selectors which you can relate to in your child theme.
Then you can learn about the different properties and play around on a local installation using your child themes style.css file.
The easiest way is to simply remove the default shortcodes you don't want using Simple Edits.
But the Simple Hooks plugin is something i think you'll find very handy for customization.
To unhook something, you simply check the box which says unhook.
You'll see the boxes once you install the Simple Hooks plugin.
After installing, go to Genesis > Simple Hooks and you'll find a page containing all the hooks with boxes.
You can remove the shortcodes using simple edits for the post info and meta you don't want to display
[post_date] By [post_author_posts_link]
[post_categories] [post_tags]
or you can use the Genesis Simple Hooks plugin and unhook post meta and info.
After installing the plugin Go to the Post/Page Hooks and find:
Unhook
genesis_post_info()function from this hook?Unhook
genesis_post_meta()function from this hook?
