As best I know: Yes, Not Sure, and No.  Fedora has some good info (still
evolving) on their site, and I guess they already have an RC1 release. 
There's some link to the rawhide stuff, but fedora is supposed to be a
"real" distro (not a hobby thing).

It already supports yum and apt (on top of rpm), but I'm not sure about
the up2date thing.  For commercial use, migrating to RHEL is probably
viable, but not for me personally.  I've been updating my redhat 9 boxes
against the fedora repositories (using apt) for a while now, and I even
submitted a fedora rpm to their QA package queue (gotta fix that up a
little).  The QA process itself looks nice.

I have one debian install, but not much chance to play with it.  I've
used redhat since 2.0.1 so I have some time/skills invested in it. 
Fedora looks like a logical path to me (but I'll still try and learn
debian in my copious free time...)  You might want to look a little more
closely at fedora; in some ways I think it could be even better than
RedHat.

Just my $.02 worth.
