Migration from VB 3.8 with VBSEO to xenFORO

Hi,

VB is not what it used to be and I am trying to find a more temporary solution to my forum counting about 70k users.
My main concerns are:
1. Can I implement easily or import me VBSEO settings to xenforo?
2. I use VBexperience and my users like it. Is there a similar plugin in xenFORO?
3. I want to make sure that my users can login to our forums just like they are used to with VB. No new registration and such.
4. Do you guys have a mobile app?

Thanks in advance, it would be a great help if you could help me make sense of this potential migration.
 
Okay
Theyre all relatively standard redirects, all that tool did was select the right ones from a pre-determined list. If you have the URL pattern and need a redirect post a thread and im sure someone can come up with something / has the right one to hand.

So if I previously had forum urls like this
vB: http://www.domain.com/forum/f196/
xF: https://www.domain.com/forums/forum-name.196/

Threads like this:
vB: http://www.domain.com/forum/f200/thread-title-63235/
xF: https://www.domain.com/threads/thread-title.63235/

What htaccess do I need to use to achieve proper redirects?

As you can see I moved the directories, and enabled SSL. Do I need to place the htaccess in the forum/ folder?
