Competitors Dodgy Link Profile - How to handle?
I really don't think it is worth doing that! What Istvan says is 100% correct, you will beat him in time. Why start wasting your time on your competitor's site rather than focusing on your own?

Why does everyone use bitly?
sometimes you need to not worry about if/then SEO factors because that's how we end up falling into magic trick traps. Sometimes it's truly more valuable to allow other reasons to be the decider.

Changing a blog url from subdomain to subfolder
Ha! Not a problem; I've been held responsible for worse. Good luck. Like I say, moving from a subdomain to a subfolder for us went like a breeze although admittedly it wasn't across two servers. If you have any issues give us a shout

Webmaster tools...URL Errors
I personally would just ignore any 404's being generated by junk sites; Google certainly isn't penalising you for these and if you mark them as fixed the error will just reappear when Google next follows the broken link. If you have any 404's being generated from 'good' sources then I'd 301 redirect the broken URL to the correct location on your site (not just to your homepage) and mark the problem as fixed.

Taking descriptions from Manufacturer sites and Duplicate content
Yes it is Sean. However, I thought I saw that SEOMoz included it in a blog post somewhere. Perhaps if you email them they can tell you where? I just tried to find it and the only "Free" one I can seem to find is Wil Reynolds' presentation. I'll look around a little more and if I can find the link I'll send it.

Pointing a sub-domain to a sub-folder in htaccess
Well, in that case, I don't think you will be able to set it up as domain/blog. Using a subdomain is likely your only option, blog.domain. But, I wouldn't worry too much about it since Google doesn't really treat the two situations much differently. Matt Cutts recently commented on this exact situation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MswMYk05tk So, I'd go ahead and set up your blog at your secondary host, and point your subdomain to it.
