Sorry. It's just that everything that glitters...

I doubt. At least, not easily. However, installing LMDE should be 
a one-time process (it's a rolling distribution).

Alternatives are: Arch Linux, Debian Testing and a couple of 
others. Anyway, most of the release-based distribution (Mint is a 
special case) support upgrading, even if not rolling 
distributions (for example, Ubuntu).

I have not much experience with Mint (none, in fact), but even in 
the case of a full and disruptive upgrade they should preserve 
your settings and documents. However, I disclaim responsibility 
as I don't know how it works.
