I would leave them all alone, and use the addressbook that suits you best.  If 
in Personal Contacts you create Folders, copying or moving address records 
into those, you are in effect adding a tag.  They are still, as far as I can 
tell, the same record, just tagged as Family, Friend, Business, or whatever 
you call your folders.  I believe, too, that that directory contains a cache, 
so will not always display every record in the database.  I don't really 
follow the logic of that, so I'm waiting to see how that pans out, but it's 
one of the reasons that I prefer to have a second addressbook - if I can't see 
the record I want, it should still be in the other one.

The database should be able to pick them up, but if you have backed up 
~/.local/share/akonadi you will also be able to restore the database at the 
time that they matched, so that should be OK.

At some point in the 4.6.x series the tray icon was lost and was replaced by 
Akonadi Console, which you should be able to find listed if you put Akonadi 
into KRunner (Alt-F2).

I don't think so, yet.  Making it part of a scheduled backup is the best bet.
