These are only the answers to the questions i know, if its not here my answer would have been: 'i have know idea'
5) Is there going to be a skill wipe when the game "officially" launches?
I hope so
1. because atm in the beta im training whatever skills suit how im feeling i.e. feel like sniping for a bit: get an extra level in somthing that helps sniping, feel like tanking it out in a heavy: level up and extra armor related skill etc. and i think once ive got to grips with what i want to specialise in, then i can really level it up well and concentrate on that aspect
2. It would give the beta testers (us :P) a large advantage over newer players, with our decked out prototype gear and 1 billion billion ISK+SP players 
6) How will dropsuits, vehicles, and weapons be represented in the game? In EvE? Will I be able to view all of my "stuff" in a hanger view?
I would say the only way an EVE character would see another DUST players item's may be in a contract (or on the market before being sold to a DUST player), and as characters are separate (right?) your EVE and DUST guys are separate accounts and so you wouldnt be able to open up your DUST 'hangar' in EVE i dont think
7) Will there be post-game stats I can look at, like grenade kills, headshots, hit percentage, etc?
Post game, i have know idea, though im 99% sure there will be a personal life time page, like there is atm on the character sheet, though it only displays K/D (+ratio) atm
10) Are these doors in my 'captains quarters' (x2) going to open at some point? When?
Atm EVE has doors that dont open, so im assuming when they open, DUST's will soon follow, which is when im guessing you can get social interaction between dust and EVE players. Play chess with a heavy from DUST, rock, paper, scissors with a Jovian (yes i know you cant play as them, but hey, they'd beat you 100% with there crazy Jovian skillz (emphasis on the 'z') anyway)
11) How do we, or can we, sell stuff on the market? Is the market going to resemble that of eve? Are the two markets going to even coexist or are they separate at launch?
Dont quote me but i think i heard/saw somewhere they will be intergrated. Or at least they should: if EVE and DUST are meant to be truely connected you can leave DUST out of the main driving force behind EVE
12) When people talk about "swarms", are they talking about the heavy infantry weapon or something that gets fit on a vehicle?
I would say they're talking about swarm launchers, handheld (though not small :P ) launchers that fire four rockets at a time, hence: swarm. I cant even drive a proper tank yet (minus the milita one) so i dont know if you can fit one to a tank
14) The stuff on the market for Aurem... can we re-sell those for ISK? Will Aurem priced modules be pay for RL cash only (P2W)?
Dont know about re-selling, but CCP have heavily empasised it wont be a pay to win game
17) If I made 2 alts in my empty slots, would they be able to train in real time at the same time my main trains? Do they accrue SP passively, I guess is my question. Could I make say a sniper and a heavy and just let them train in the BG for a year?
It would make sense that they didnt passively train SP my reasoning comes from EVE where you can only train one at a time
18) Can I move from one system to another of my own volition?
Not in the beta, as of yet, but i would say yes for the full game, how else are you going to fight for your corp thats influence spreads over the entire galaxy :P, i dont know how the physical moving will take place thoug (will it be instaneous, will you have to move a clone in a contract that an EVE player must carry out, then effectivly use it like a jump clone from EVE)
19) What is the point of the star map in DUST?
I would assume this is how you will chose your destination once inter-stellar travel is unlocked in the beta/full game
23) I flew my main in EvE to the system where my DUST dude was, and they didn't see one another in local. Is that just how it's going to be, or will that change in the future? When you are cruising for targets in lowsec in EvE will you be seeing DUST people in local? Will your local view tell you what you need to differentiate capsuleers from MERCs?
Im pretty sure the DUST beta is going on in the test EVE server (SiSi, or somthing (i haven't played EVE in a while)), unless you mean you flew it into the SiSi solar system, in which case i dont know
24) Why can't I sit down on my couch?
Your a DUST merc. you dont sit around like a lazy old capsuleer
25) Is there a way to get your own videos playing in your DUST captain's quarters like you can in EvE? (I have some old-skool A-Team episodes that seem appropriate)
Didnt know you could even do this in EVE  (unless its a recent change) like i said i havent played in a while)
26) Is there anything you can do to alter your in-game appearance? If not, will there be?
Well atm all DUST mercs have dashing helmets on, may be you'll be able to take them off when they unlock the quarter doors for some socializing, in which case would make sense to also unlock aesthetic characterization
30) Can somebody explain to me how skillpoint accrual works?It's some kind of combination of SP you earn in matches and SP you get passively? How are match SP calculated?
Im sure the more kills/points you get the more SP you get though direct calculations i.e. SP per kill, or SP per capture, i have know idea, it would be nice if SP came up below points after an action is completed, or just remove points from the HUD, and tell us the SP
