When you include layout="tabular", you have two columns in your infobox (the way most are already). Labels on the left, info on the right. If you leave it out, you have the label above the info. You can try this out in the draft and see which version looks better!

Yes, with CSS added to Special:CSS (or on some wikias it works with MediaWiki:Common.css), you can style the new infobox almost exactly like the old one on desktop. However, there are a few things that are just too tricky for mobile, so the new markup doesn't allow for them. One example is tabs within the infobox.

Just how identical your new infoboxes can be to the old ones on desktop depends on what kinds of extras you had in them. You can probably use much of the same CSS you used for the styling before, but put it in Special:CSS instead of into the template. The point of that is to make the infobox template machine-readable and easy to interpret for any device. The CSS is only relevant for desktop.

You can make themes work, too. Don't add theme=themename to your infobox tag. Add this line instead:  You'll include the theme definition in the wikia's stylesheet. If you have different themes you want to use with the same template, you'll need to put a data source for the theme into each article where the infobox is used. For example add theme-source="infobox2". Does that make sense?
