If the 301 redirection is correctly implemented (a 301 redirection for each single http page to the https page), this should be OK. From a theorical point of view, you may loss around ~10% of the linkjuice from existing backlinks. However, I personally never noticed a negative impact of my rankings on this kind of massive website redirection.
Here are a just few things I would recommend you pay attention to:
My two cents.

I personnally never heard of this technique (to keep only one alt tag) and thus, I never tried it.
My personal feelings lead me to think it is not natural and I would not recommend using this technique.
Once you've made sure your site is fully crawlable, on-page / on-site optimization is the very next step.
While it is one of the first steps on the long (never ending) road of SEO, on-page optimization is very important and you want to make sure content on your pages are optimized as soon as possible.
I recommend you using SEOMoz' Term Target tool. It will provide you with great tips on what and how optimize on your page : http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/on-page-keyword-optimization/new

Strictly no impact.
We (a French real estate company) currently receive around 600K unique vistors per month from search traffic and as far as I can see, there is strictly no impact on our traffic coming from search engines.
By the way, the new Q&A forum for PRO is just f*cking awesome! Just love it! Keep up the great work guys,

Normally, it would be www.domain.com (unless it doesn't provide any content outside the iFrame).
But it is not abnormal to also see iframe.domain.com in the SERPS, since it may have some backlinks pointing to it.
Anyway, using iframes is a weird technique and I recommend you merge those into www.domain.com if possible (and don't forget to do some 301 redirections to tell Google your pages have definitely moved to www.domain.com).
I would stop using the
You'll then be able to have one unique
As long as you correctly implement redirects using 301 code (permanent redirect), to inform search engines your pages have definitely moved to new URLs, there should not be any problem.
From a user experience perspective, I like putting "exit" links in the footer so that when the user reaches the end of the page, he has some relevant links to continue reading content on my websites.
From a SEO perspective, indeed, Google doesn't seem to pass a lot of linkjuice to those links, as long as it identify them as footer links.
Nope the meta tag http-equiv won't be usefull.
If your page has definitely moved to portal.ufam.edu.br, you should clearly implement a 301 redirection to it, and not use the HTTP-EQUIV meta tag (which is not interpreted by search engines). With a 301 redirection, you will tell to search engines to reassign the linkjuice of any backlink pointing to www.ufam.edu.br to the new portal.ufam.edu.br URL.

You're right. However, as far as I can see, I don't think the kind of keywords your have in your titles, etc. are not user-friendly. As Dejan says, they look like perfectly OK to me. Don't worry too much
I recommend you consolidate all your content on the same domain (mysite.be) using a subfolder for your language (because it is better to consolide backlinks to the same root domain) :
www.mysite.be/fr/ (or just www.mysite.be if French is your default language).
www.mysite.be/de/
www.mysite.be/nl/
You won't have any duplicate content issue since your content will be written in different languages. Just make sure each page is accessible through a unique URL for each translation.
Hi Jacob,
This clearly won't hurt your website / rankings. Try also to put some

Barry said it all.
I recommend you 301-redirect all pages without "www." to the fully qualified URLs containing "www.".
You'll get 90% of the linkjuice of existing backlinks, so just go for it.
