In which case you may need to un-install this software and Premiere and then re-install the latter. Occasionally, software leaves a residue in registry which can affect other programs – particularly if they share resources. You need a bit of a cleanout I think. Adobe have their own Cleaner for Premiere available from the website.
I’m sorry I can’t be more specific with advice but often it’s a case of trial and error.

You should be able to. I have a similar setup. Plug the TV into the HDMI port on your laptop. Select Playback settings in Premiere’s program monitor and set the EXTERNAL DEVICE to your Sony TV. Playing the timeline should output directly to it.

After Effects CS5 has a boxes transition in PAL and NTSC that, whilst not quite the same, enables a similar effect.

This seems to happen quite often, especially if one is changing between DV and HDV on an IEEE 1394. Having external USB devices connected also seems to complicate the issue.
I don’t believe this is an Adobe problem. More likely to be Windows support for IEEE1394 and not just Win7 either.
Painful as it might be, before you capture, disconnect your firewire and re-boot the computer. Now connect it back and wait for the device to be recognised.
Load Premiere and capture as normal.
To answer the second issue – In the scratch discs tab of your Project settings you can set the folders in which you want to put your media. I suggest your fastest disc array.

Like you I had several legacy projects left over from CS4
Apart from obvious 64bit third party software upgrades needed to work with CS5 I found the transition pretty seamless. Only Boris Graffiti has not been upgraded to 64bit which is a shame as I made considerable use of it.
I got round the bloating problem before it ever occurred – by starting a new project with a CS5 suffix and importing all the sequences into Premiere. I also made sure that all the software upgrades worked as they should before finally disregarding my CS4 cuts.
There are good reasons for upgrading your projects, not simply waiting to finish them on CS4. The first is that you can take advantage of CUDA enabled MPE (presuming you have a compatible card) for GFX acceleration. Even in non MPE mode it is significantly faster and really does make a fantastic difference.
Secondly – CS4 is a complete dogs dinner in terms of resource usage and it was an absolute pleasure to leave it behind for a proper integrated 64bit architecture.
Thirdly, you can visit the Cow forum anytime now and not feel you’re being left behind as more and more issues deal with CS5. (not crucial I admit.)
The downside is that you have to reinvest in upgraded software in one hit for plug-ins. Ce la vie!
My conclusions: few issues if any in the move up to CS5.

Was there a point at which everything seemed to work fine or have you never had it working?

the viewer that came with the camera……………
Try uninstalling this. Your problem seemed to happen when you ran this programme.
Just a thought!

CS5 also includes a complimentary copy of CS4. However this is designed to ease the path from 4 to 5 not 3 to 5. There is quite a jump with the latter in terms of work flow and structure.
My advice would be to try and keep a PP3 version running in some capacity until you have fully migrated your work across to CS5. Not least because all of your plug-ins will need a 64bit upgrade before they can function with CS5.
I now run CS5 with BCC7 (64bit) but also I have CS4 working with BCC6 and Graffiti alongside to access legacy projects. (Graffiti 5.3 is not 64bit and will not function with CS5)

I suggest you commission a proper videographer to make your program for you. Then you can take the credit for hiring such fantastic talent.

Have you rendered the title?
Can you supply us some specs for your system?
