Yes, this. Last time we did not get a ticket for Duels, don't expect one this time either when no sets are being removed. Unless they change their philosophy without telling us (no harm to keep your run open at 2 losses if you are not trying to complete any more XP achievements).
For Arena we should be getting our "free" Tavern Ticket as usual.
Yeah, it's getting a little crowded in there. Then again we were already able to pick cards from various other sets through loot buckets. Duels was more like Wild in some instances.
Actually, we don't quite know how the Rewards Track transition might go. Last time all old quests were lost while being replaced by the new ones and the whole experience system, but this time there won't be such a huge mechanical change. Depends really how they designed it. If for some reason our set of weekly quests from Monday 29 was to be replaced on Tuesday 30, I'd expect Hearthstone team to get the word out (would be lots of angry people otherwise). And if we see any blue posts on the subject, we'll definitely cover it.
This might be one of the questions that gets asked during Iksar's Q&A later today/tomorrow, and if you are an awake Twitter resident at the time, you could try to do it yourself!
Since the blog posts didn't mention anything about Patch 20.0 and no other patch messed with your weekly and daily quests, it should be safe to assume that's not being affected, we still get a few more days of Darkmoon Faire track.
If you are between levels, then yes, you will lose whatever small chunk when your level gets set back to 0. Worth to hit a new level if it's really close.
New Priest Minion - Serena Bloodfeather
Weird yet interesting effect.
New Paladin Minion - Knight of Anointment
Incredibly strong, which is a shame because I'm so very tired of Libram Paladin...
New Paladin Spell - Galloping Savior
I don't think this is that good.
New Warrior Minion - Stonemaul Anchorman
Great, especially in arena.
New Rogue Minion - Scabbs Cutterbutter
Obviously very strong.
New Rogue Minion - Field Contact
Great card, basically auctioneer for 3.
New Warrior Minion - Overlord Saurfang
Has potential, but I don't think it's enabling a new deck on its own.
New Shaman Minion - Earth Revenant
Nice card, not amazing though.
New Shaman Minion - Spawnpool Forager
Very good, even outside of the Murloc synergy.
New Warrior Spell - Rancor
Good removal spell
New Warrior Minion - Whirling Combatant
Solid stand-alone card.
New Neutral Minion - Kindling Elemental
Solid, but not meta defining.
New Neutral Minion - Crossroads Gossiper
Seemed very strong in the Paladin theorycrafting decks, better than expected.
New Neutral Minion - Hog Rancher
Gonna squeeze my hog to this

Kazakus, Golem Shaper
After finally seeing the effect it's a bit underwhelming it will maybe see play in decks that don't need 4-drops anyways
New Neutral Minion - Hog Rancher
Good arena card, not worth it for standard ladder.
New Neutral Minion - Crossroads Gossiper
Good in secret paladin, or any other secret-based deck that might pop up in the next 2 years.
New Neutral Minion - Spirit Healer
Very average.
New Neutral Minion - Primordial Protector
As we could see during the theorycrafting event, this minion enables whole decks.
New Mage Spell - Refreshing Spring Water
Very strong -- it's still good even if your deck is half and half.
New Neutral Minion - Kargal Battlescar
Surprisingly effective in Watch Post decks.
