If I were to download X64 is there any way to transfer everything from my X86 version?

Both versions share the same profile.
Your stuff will move to the 64-bit version automatically, you will just have much less plugins available.

Is there a list in the forum of which plugins are available for the X64 and which of the major plugins are NOT available?

Silverlight, Flash, VLC recently has one, Java, and that is about it.
If there any others, I am not aware of these others.

Extensions/add-ons, almost all of them will work, maybe 1 out of 20 might not.

Well, I backed up my profile so if I don't like X64 I can easily go back to X86.

All of your plug-ins will still be there, if you revert.
Think of it as if the plug-ins go invisible when you are using X64, but re-appear on the X32.

Strange, I got everything installed successfully and ran the peacekeeper benchmark tests and X86 beat X64 by quite a bit.

It's not so strange.
