On 1. Check out the situation for each country. The UK has different arrangements depending on specific agreements.
You MAY or MAY NOT get an annual increase. If you go to the USA you will, if you go to NZ you won't.
But in NZ you can opt to swap your UK pension for its NZ equivalent and you get the full amount and annual increases. Alternatively, if you choose to retain your UK pension you get it topped up to the NZ equivalent.
Lots to look into.
