1)       Is there a good way to do whole fs conversions, specifically from
NTFS to reiserfs or ext3?

Not while maintaining data.



2)       Do I even need to do this (i.e., do any of the CentOS/Linux kernels
support read AND write to NTFS)?

No, and NTFS writes are not something I'd consider a good idea.


3)       Is there, by any chance, and in-place converter from NTFS to any
Linux fs, preferably reiserfs or ext3?


Nope.


Also, the last time I installed CentOS on a system (I've done about six or
seven so far) I don't remember seeing reiserfs as one of the supported fs's
for configuring during the installation process – am I blind or is this
really the case?  I like reiserfs primarily because it is really good with
many small files, and I have tons of them – around 100k files under 10k.

Reiserfs isn't supported in RHEL or centos (except in centosplus). I'd
also suspect it's being reconsidered in the kernel proper also, given
the legal issues and current imprisonment of the reiserfs maintainer.
