First of all, to specifically answer your question, there will undoubtedly be someone staying in Harmony Hall to watch over things while the construction tour goes on.
On a side note, most of your questions will probably be answered when the email goes out with specifics on the event. Every ACE event/shoot/etc that I have gone to has done that. You get the specifics in an email in plenty of time before the event as in where to park, etc. You do have to remember that some of the details of any event aren't usually finalized until the week of the event so emails don't go out right away but usually closer to the event.

If you are interested and excited about amusement parks in general, yes. If not, it may not be that interesting. I expect my wife to be bored just waiting for the food.
Most of 'the meat' of an off season event for ACE Southeast is Jarsh showing us videos and PowerPoint presentations from the parks about what is coming for 2015 both coaster and non-coaster related since many of us coaster enthusiasts are also amusement park enthusiasts. Usually one or two other parks send a rep to come and talk to us and take questions.
For the most part. a majority of what will be presented at the event can be found online at the various park websites, community enthusiasts' sites, etc. What you can't get online is the personal experience of meeting people and hanging out with old and new friends for the day, along with some free swag from the parks. There are also usually some great prizes.
I didn't take into account the food and off-season park tour which alone make this event worthwhile.
