You will be taking the metal skins off from top down and if reinstalling them they will go from the bottom up. Be sure and make a numbering system where each skin goes if your going to reuse them.
unfortunately I won't be able to reuse any of the existing aluminum siding because I will be moving most of the windows around.

What are your plans for some type of material (luan/celotex/other material) under the roof skin and over the roof truss ribs for the metal skin to bond to?
I plan to use the same construction on the roof as the side walls. 1/4" luan skins and either 1-1/2 or 2" framing. That may change based off of how the existing roof is constructed. The existing roof has held up very well and there have not been any roof leaks that I have seen. The existing roof is aluminum and I believe it is a floating roof that is just held down around the perimeter by the trim and maybe some adhesive.
