Only if you want to. Transferring does not mean starting over. Your time in service transfers with you.
Yes, typically when transferring from one National Guard state to another, individuals are required to reenlist in their new state. This is because each state's National Guard operates independently under the authority of the respective state's governor. Therefore, transferring to a new state would necessitate joining that state's National Guard and reenlisting under their jurisdiction.
No. If you want to go from Regular Army to National Guard, you must first finish your active duty enlistment, then reenlist into the Guard - you cannot opt out of active duty during the time specified in your contract.
Yes, it requires alot of movement.
Interstate Transfer is a moot point - there is no Interstate Transfer in the Army Reserve - there is only unit transfer. The Army Reserve is completely federal, and not delegated to individual states in any way. You would have to get a conditional discharge from the National Guard, then enlist into the Army Reserve.

Yes The National Guard is a military orginization and you have made a commitment to it. They can and will send you to Jail if you go AWOL Some things to clarify here... the only time you can actually be AWOL from a National Guard unit is when that unit is federally activated under orders which transfer the command from the National Guard to the Regular Army... ipso facto, it's technically not possible to be AWOL from the National Guard, since the unit is no longer National Guard when activated in such a fashion. If you miss UTAs, that's not treated as AWOL.
It is actually not very hard, you need to fill out a Form 1288

Only after completing your enlistment. When I was in (1967-1972) you could transfer from one branch to another. It is a long and difficult process. There have been people who left the Corps and transferred to the Navy for religious reason, Rev. Wright is an example. I had an option to join the Army as a WO back in the late sixties being supported by a senior CWO in the transfer into the intelligence community of the Army. But I was planning on a career in the Corps.

There are actually two National Guards, but when people say the National Guard they are probably (but not necessarily) talking about the Army National Guard. The other National Guard is the Air National Guard which is to the Air Force what the Army National Guard is to the Army.
