No, but the marks will now live on the IMAP server instead of locally.

I don't know of one. You basically need to do (open group with C-u to
see all articles, mark all articles, copy to
(gnus-newsgroup-name =~ s/nnml/nnimap/) ) 300 times. It can be
automated I guess, but no one has needed the automation badly enough.
If you want I can write a function to do it.
