On item #4 there is an easier way to do that. The basement fan is actually controlled by the thermostat (pull the cover and you will see the wire). You can replace the thermostat with a digital one which has a fan only option. This will let you manual turn on the fan at any time.
It works just like you mentioned, but also note that the fan will no longer turn on when the furnace is running. Moving the wire makes the basement fan "manual control only", which should be fine, so long as you remember to turn it on in really cold climates.
