1) Yes you need to, but if you want to root again flash the .42 and do an update over the air (ota updates only on locked bootloader!)
2) Try it without, if you can start it and everything works, it's great :good:
3) Yes you will loose root and you have to root again.
I recommend doing a nandroid backup using cwm first and backing up all apps using Titanium Backup to restore them if you can't keep your data

1. Yes
2. Some ics apps are not compatible with gb, backup sms, call log, contacts. So yes, you need
3. Yes, and not all gb firmware can be rooted.
Flash rootable gb firmware, root it, install cwm, and upgrade to latest gb via ota if you want.

Can't say much more about the ROM than what's already in the title, I grabbed it from i-don't-quite-remember-where (but not from warez type sites) since I couldn't update with PCC 'cause of unlocked bootloader. Checked it and it's the real deal, got it flashed and running on my Sola. FTF packaged neatly in a RAR.

EDIT:
Yes the rom came from Irontech so all credits and thanks go to him for publishing it (i only remembered it was him who released it on forum when rohit gave the link), but i think its place is here where it won't be lost in waves of threads like on general.
File Size: 242.95MB ,will give it a try.

The Rom is quite good, I also flashed it.

Check in the Update Centre, and if it is available, simply download and update your device. And no need to flash too!– I updated my phone this way today and it is completely safe. Hope that helps, mate

If I remember right you can't root manually yet. You have to flash a kernel with auto root etc.
If anyone knows otherwise please share!

Will flashing .42 firmware delete all my app data? (I have .62 firmware)
Because, if it does not delete, then I can flash .42 and then root and then take a nandroid backup

No you don't have to unlock your bootloader in order to flash stock. 42 firmware
Or won't void your warranty if you are worried about that
And you can unroot your phone anytime you want

Personally, I don't see much difference between them, so it's all your choice.
.100 is good because .10 lags for me . but is it your choice .
