You list the 28mm & 50mm prime lenses. If these are AF lenses, they will only autofocus on the midrange and up Nikon cameras. The Entry level D40, D60, and D5000 cameras do not have autofocus motors in body, they rely upon an AF-S lens for autofocus. To replace those lenses with AF-S versions would cost more than a body with a motor.
With that said, the very best non-pro Nikon camera that you can buy for less than $1000 is the Nikon D90. This camera will take advantage of the existing lenses that you have. If the D90 is out of price range, go for one of the older ones that have a motor used. These would be the D80, D70.
I don't think you would be interested in the D200, D300, D700, D3, or D3x because you were initially looking at the D40 & D60. If you can spend a little more, the sweet spot right now is probably the D700 full frame camera recertified which would provide amazing image quality and could be obtained for about $2000 recertified.

In essence, Nikon is the name of the big corporation that makes cameras, lenses, etc. The lenses made by Nikon are, generally, somewhat mass produced and are of a lesser quality than their Nikkor lense division. Nikkor lenses are of better quality than the parent Nikon lenses. You will pay more as a result. That said, Nikon still produces quality lenses.
it's an okay lens... depends on your experience as a photographer. It's a good all around "super zoom," but wouldn't be recommended for fast action (highschool to pro level), low light photography or macro. Basically... good as a walk around lens without the need of ultra wide angles or super telephoto shots..
TheAF-S DX Nikkor VR 18-55mm is Nikon's new kit lens, with optical stabilization. See the "Related Links " below the ads for more information.
Nikon's Nikkor lenses typically are made for use by those who are taking photos when traveling or sightseeing.

Depending on the brand, these lenses can cost anywhere from $200 to 1000, with the average settling around 450 dollars.
no that is the wide open aperture. It stops down much smaller.
It depends on the lens. Most smaller Nikkor lenses take 52 mm filters.
