I know how to move a post from one thread to another.  And I know you can move all the replies too. But in some cases people reply to the LAST post not necessarily the post that is relevant to what they are saying.

Any advice on how to do this?  

There is no easy way for now. So you would have to move one branch at a time (I say "branch" because when you move a post, all replies are moved together with it). Note that the problem you described (people replying to the last post) doesn't happen when people use the threaded view.

Also if I want to control the NAME of the new threads created do they have to start with a one of my own posts? If so can I add a post of my own at the top with an old date so I have that control?

Yes, you could create two new topics, change the dates and then move posts under them. Automating this task is probably hard because only you can judge where each post should go to. Please let me know what you think.
