This all sounds great, and if you're confident in the needed changes I 
think it's fine to just go ahead and do it :) Maybe post drafts for 
review for a few days first (you can do this by creating pages in your 
personal space on the wiki). 

For point 2., you can use wiki templating. See e.g. these installation 
partitioning test cases for an example:

https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=QA:Testcase_partitioning_guided_empty&action=edit
https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=QA:Testcase_partitioning_guided_delete_all&action=edit

note that both their 'setup' steps start with:

{{Template:Partitioning_single_setup}}

{{somepage}} means 'include the content of somepage here'. So if you 
look at that template page:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Template:Partitioning_single_setup

you can see that its contents are included in each of the test case 
pages. (note those usages could be simplified: if the template page is 
in the Template namespace, you don't actually need the Template: part 
of the name in the {{}} link. Just {{Partitioning_single_setup}} would 
actually work fine.)

So for the content that can be shared between multiple test cases, 
create a template page and use {{pagename}} blocks to include its 
content in the test cases.

For the advanced class, you can use arguments to make some of the 
contents of template pages conditional, but for the simple case you 
don't need to go that far :)
