All distros will support CD burning, you just have to have the right software. K3b is a good choice.
Yes, that's the official kernel repo.
You're a little confused about what slackware is. It's a distribution - a collection of applications and the linux kernel. It depends on the individual program as to whether you can skin it or not. If you want the gui side of things to look different then you need to start looking at different window managers (just search window managers for X and you'll get a few good sites). Unlike Windows, linux does not have a standard way of looking: you have the X server which just displays the contents of windows (no borders, no icons, nothing else) and on top of that you have the window manager which handles all the fancy stuff. Changing your window manager and its theme will change the way the graphical side of things look.
And yes, you can make skins for KDE but I don't know how to do it
There is a sticky in the Slackware forum that contains a guide to upgrading your kernel. I used it myself once or twice. You can find it here (even though it says it's for 2.6.0, it can be used for newer versions as well).
I think the binary is free and if you already own a copy of Win32 Nero and a serial then you're ok (may have to contact them for a new Linux one). If you're more comfortable with that then it might be worth the investment.
Personally K3B does everything i need and more, and i find it more intuitve and useful than Nero
