in regardrds to your third question no you won't have to create a new account however since the consoles are going to have their own server (still unconfirmed as far as i know about cross-console playing but no crossing between pc and console) you will have to start up as a new player for consoles (no characters will cross-over to give an edge on console) and as for items you previously purchased on pc I do not know if they will cross over but in my opinion they should so as not to force the people who played on pc to buy them again on console
