To restate, and to be fair I did dump a lot of information on you all at once, it doesn't matter what the ages are of the EP and SP discs or what it says on their boxes.

Mods are operating system independent. They work (or do not work) exactly the same on all versions of Windows and even on the Mac version of the game on the macOS.
On the store content, yes the previously downloaded sims3packs should work. In fact, if you have access to a prior TS3 user game folder where they are already installed, you could try bringing the contents of that folder over to your new computer once everything program related is installed and confirmed to be working. But the absolute worst case should be that you have to redownload the store content; I had to do that for my Steam switchover, which was a bit time consuming but not all that bad. I never had to do that for a digital to digital crossgrade with or without Origin involved.
