If you are using an Imap only setup, I think that you have no need to migrate 
anything; all the needed files will be recreated when needed in the new 
location. But this may cause a little overhead on the system, so if your 
system is big, migrating the files may help.

If you are using also POP3, and if some users use the "leave messages on 
server" thing, you need to migrate the dovecot-uidlist files, or they will 
download all their messages again.

Yes, and they should be owned by the users.

Here you have an example from my setup:

$ find /var/dovecot/lgstosej/
/var/dovecot/lgstosej/
/var/dovecot/lgstosej/.INBOX
/var/dovecot/lgstosej/.INBOX/.imap.index
/var/dovecot/lgstosej/.INBOX/.imap.index.data
/var/dovecot/lgstosej/.INBOX/.customflags
/var/dovecot/lgstosej/.INBOX/dovecot.index.log.2
/var/dovecot/lgstosej/.INBOX/dovecot.index.log
/var/dovecot/lgstosej/.INBOX/dovecot-uidlist
/var/dovecot/lgstosej/.INBOX/.imap.index.tree
/var/dovecot/lgstosej/.INBOX/dovecot.index
/var/dovecot/lgstosej/.INBOX/dovecot.index.cache
/var/dovecot/lgstosej/.INBOX/dovecot-keywords
/var/dovecot/lgstosej/.INBOX/.imap.index.log
/var/dovecot/lgstosej/.sent-mail
/var/dovecot/lgstosej/.sent-mail/dovecot.index.log
/var/dovecot/lgstosej/.sent-mail/dovecot.index
