You’ll need to use an FTP program to place the uploads folder into the wp-content folder on your new site. If you already have an uploads folder, you’ll need to go into the old uploads folder, and grab those folders and drop them into the new sites uploads folder.
This might not get it, and if it doesn’t then it’s time to hire a pro, because you’ll have to search and replace database entries and there’s a VERY high potential for messing things up, but I think just moving the folder should get it.

If you have some time before the deadline, I would contact the developers of both plugins and submit a bug report. For a dev, it’s not hard to fix.(sounds like one of them is not using the built in library.) If you are on a time crunch, or they fail to fix their mess, post a link to both plugins and I’ll try my hand at it.

Yes. What you’ll want to do is first set up the new wordpress install, then use the wordpress import to import the data. The importer parses the xml document and puts the contents into the database, so you don’t have to worry about messing with the DB. It was designed for the purpose of moving sites. One thing to be aware of though, is that for it to import images, you’ll need to have the old site still up. It can’t grab images from a site that isn’t there. As long as you’ve downloaded the wp-contents folder, you can make the images work, but it’s difficult. It’s much easier to migrate from a site that is up, to the new site then switch the domain name.

I’m not sure how to do that in phpmyadmin, but have you considered using WordPress’s exporter? It exports pages, posts, attachment pages, and such without getting all the settings. The only thing it doesn’t get is uploads which could be backed up using ftp to download the wp-contents folder. Personally, I would prefer to have all the options saved if I ever needed to restore from a backup, but if you don’t want them, the XML file that wordpress generates has almost everything you asked for.

You may not like how that works out for you, so make a copy of style.css to go back to before you do this.
In style.css near the bottom of the file you will find a section titled /* =Responsive Structure
———————————————– */
and you want to delete everything from that tag to the /* =Print
———————————————– */

There’s some chance that this won’t get all the responsive features. I’ve never tried it before. Never wanted to downgrade a theme.

Twenty eleven is a responsive theme, which means that if you change the size of the browser, the contents will resize to fit the new screen size. This is helpful with all the people viewing sites on their mobile devices. The one thing that looks unintentional is that the slider doesn’t resize with the rest of the theme. That would be very difficult to do. Do you want to get rid of the responsive design then?
