Doesn't seem as though anyone answered your 2nd question — there are conversion utilities from YABB versions to phpBB (see HERE for the appropriate board in the phpBB Forum).

But whilst I have the chance I'd like to add that you should also try converting to SMF (see HERE for the appropriate board in the SMF Community Forum or HERE for other forum conversions to SMF) — you may just find that you prefer it to phpBB and in my experience it's far less prone to being hacked or needing patches every 5 minutes!

You can install either software from Fantastico, back up your YABB database then apply the conversion routines — I suggest you read a variety of messages in both those forums I provided links to, then you can see what problems people have faced and familiarise yourself with the pitfalls and procedures. Good luck ...
