Can anyone give a basic rundown of UOSA?

So my wife and I were reminiscing on old favorite games, and as usual, I got on the subject of missing UO before it sold out to lootwhoring... Made me want to start a personal server to show her the game, which led to me searching, then I came across UOSA...
So I have some basic questions before I try and find time to pour into any mmo...
1: What worlds are there? Is it classic Felucca, Trammel added, the added area that came with the horrible 3d game, or past that to stuff i never played?
2: I see references to automap and botting allowed.... Is there a quick reference to what those do?
3: Do these allowed third part programs affect the classic gameplay? Or just nice additions to make the mundane stuff less tedious?
4: How is the housing situation? Will I have to scout collapsing houses to place anything decent, or are there available spots (if far out) for a nice tower or even a castle?
5: Is the community in general more easy going or a complete gankfest / troll horde?
6: Is there any way to tie in an old account and get veteran rewards (if they are in this version) and get my old dye tubs back? Or that ghost horse... lol
Those are the only key points I can think of at the moment. Any feedback (good or bad) would be great... I REALLY miss UO...
In case it comes up, I played Lake Superior... I don't remember how many years.. and the characters I can remember that MIGHT be noticed were:
Sir Didymus - Tamer/Mage
Azure Ru'Thorn - Bard/Mage
Hephaestus - Craftsman
Acorn - Warrior/Thief
Looking forward to great times...
