1. Yes you have to relight in Vue and to be honest you'd want to as well. Vue's lighting blows posers into the weeds. Poser lights won't transfer to Vue.
2. The render engine in Vue is a lot better than FireFly once you get the hang of setting it up. The temptation is to whack all the quality sliders to full but that will just get you ridiculous render times.
3. The learning curve isn't too bad really. Vue is pretty easy to get to grips with (plus there's a great Vue forum on Rendo with some Vue gods/goddesses in residence :) ) Using the Poser shader tree is going to chew up RAM - something to be aware of. You can use Vue for internal or external stuff but it's really a landscape rendering proggy and is optimised for that although you can do interior stuff if you set it up right (and you don't mind quite long render times)
