1. Not in the near future, but eventually yes. Most software developers are porting their tools to the intel processors, but I doubt many of them will drop support for the G4/G5 soon...as there are lots of those machines still around.
2. This links into question 4. Rosetta is an emulator for running G4/G5 software on the intel processors. It's a lot slower than running it natively, so it's possible that your game will run too slow on the intel processors. On the other hand, you could always get one of those Mac Minis in a year and compile your game on that to get it working on both G4/G5 and intel (universal binaries I think they are calling it). Don't know if BMax has been ported yet, but I'm sure it will be in a year.
3. Older software should in theory run under Rosetta on the Intel Macs, although much slower than it does on your current machine. Of course, it's quite possible that some software have compatabillity issues.
4. See 2 and 3. Rosetta is an emulator to run G4/G5 software on the intel machines.
5. Not sure I understand the question. You can keep updating BMax, and I'm guessing in the not too far future BMax will support both G4/G5 and intel processors. I don't think you'll be able to compile your apps for the intel machines on a G5, though I'm not at all sure about that. But either way, your apps should keep working in Rosetta on intel.
Hope that's at least some help....just note that I'm no expert on this.
