They’ve said it would be desirable, but there is no announced plan or timeline for a migration tool.
Not really. Some improvements in this direction, again no promises made for timelines or details. See, for example,
Most people just use sunset and sunrise with an offset for this. This is already built into the system as a possible run time restriction for many smart apps. So you can have routines that run at sunset -15 minutes and they will automatically shift over the year.
