The video settings are pretty straight-forward. You should be able to set those in your export window. You’ll probably just want to make sure your chroma and luma levels are broadcast safe.
Audio can be a little tricky. I would bring your final audio mix into Audition, so you can easily normalize the audio. I like to use the Match Loudness feature to automatically bring everything into the broadcast legal range. You’ll want to have a good sounding mix first though. You can use the Loudness Radar in Premiere or Audition to help adjust your mix manually. Keep in mind that with stereo exports, I believe Premiere may export 3db louder, so do a test export (you can check it with the Amplitude Statistics or Loudness Radar in Audition) and if that’s the case, just drop your levels -3db in Premiere and you should be good. Premiere also has a Loudness Normalization box in the export window, but I’ve had mixed results with that.

It appears the Pastiche plugin can also achieve this fairly quickly.
If you don’t care about some icons being cut off, you could make a really big grid of your icons, then use a question mark as a track matte and zoom in and out of that.

H.264 is more suited for final delivery than for editing, but Premiere can certainly handle it. What are your computer specs?

If you’re referring to the white lines that draw on towards the figure, it could probably be done with shape layers, the roughen edges effect, and a linear wipe. Change the blend mode and opacity to blend it with the scene a little more.

Delete the portions you don’t need and save as a new project (or delete after import). Or open your old project, copy the section you need, open your new project, and paste it. Or just export the small sections or freeze frames you need and edit those.

You can import full projects or individual sequences into your open project.

I’m guessing Apple has withheld some helpful info from Adobe that keeps them from being able to develop the Quicktime H.264 codec export as well as they would like. That’s just an uneducated guess on my part though… I’m probably not technically the most qualified person to say why, but the reality is unfortunately that the format/wrapper does make a difference in final quality.
I just did a quick check in Premiere on my PC and exporting uncompressed AVI allows for uncompressed audio at 44.1. So I would check into that or some alternate high-quality formats.

I normally go with just standard ProRes, but ProRes LT should be fine for this since your footage is already pretty heavily compressed.

If you view in the icon view, there will be a little blue film strip in the corner if the clip is used. Click on the icon to see (and even jump to) exactly where it is used.

You can select all your 720p clips, right click, and choose “set to frame size.” Or scale one up and copy it, then Paste Attributes (select Motion) onto all the other 720 clips.
