1) Do you mean deleting the current ones and creating new ones or changing the category tree and renaming?

2) make sure your .htaccess file is read only and/or create file named "readonly-htaccess" within the same directory.

1) Then MSU will redirect everything automatically.

2) No. The .htaccess file needs to be writable only during the installation.
