1) That folder is there for a variety of reasons - one of which happens to be SP code left in MP playing. ;) All it stores is account data and key files (maps, if you will, but as we all know, in MP maps are reset at each new game - hence the "leftovers" bit).
2) It was touted during pre-beta that Realm characters were going to be portable to SP. This was never implemented, nor will it be. It has been rumored that a program was designed that could do this, but obviously use of this is a VERY BIG no-no, as is even discussing it in these forums. ;) The only way for you to get ahold of a Realm character and port it to SP is through someone who has direct access to the servers themselves - in other words, go ask a Bliz employee. ;)
3) Don't waste your time trying to "test" the new patch with old characters. That's a bad idea from the getgo, with ANY patch, but it's even worse with this particular patch, given just how much has changed.
Just thought I'd clarify / elaborate for you. :)
