Yes, it will definitely work. You may want to select your clips and click 'save' in the lower left just to be sure.

I bounce back and forth from PC to Mac and both project files and warped audio has had no problem switching back and forth.

I can confirm that this works just fine, having made a similar switch a few months ago :)

The biggest problem is plugins, really. And anything you've done to your library.

Sure. If you've made changes to your Ableton library, you're going to need to get those changes onto your new computer. I believe there's a feature in Ableton for backing this up and restoring it to the new one, but I haven't personally used it - I prefer to let Ableton handle the library, so I keep all my own samples and work outside of it. I haven't had a problem yet.
