A detailed view of the directory, then sort by time/date. That will put the new .2h files after the .trn files. Any .2h before the .trn files has not given you a new move file.

Yes by running the host with a quick setting for awhile.

Yes. As far as I know the CD keys are not checked for hosts at all.

The new host needs some extra files from the first host. Like the fthrland file

I believe that Torvak's savegame utility can read in the turn number. Perhaps you can contact Torvak and see if he can extract the particular codes he used, compile it after some modification, into a turn # reader (e.g. scan all savegame files in the directory, display the turns associated with each one). Failing that, I think you can still use the savegame utility, albeit perhaps a bit more cumbersome for your purpose.

The utility can be found here On Arryn's, requires Java to run,
