Resurrecting Old Wordpress Site That's Been Lying Dormant

Hello, WP commmunity. I'm looking for help on two fronts, one is design related and one is more technical.

One, I am looking to move a very old WP website from Vultr cloud hosting to Namecheap SharedHosting. The old website is running plugins, theme and WP versions from 2009-2014. (WP 4.0.38) Is there any easy way to move all of the WP files and linked image/media files without blowing this whole thing up? Yes, I do want to modernize it, but I wanted to move everything first. (I do have background FTP access, but do not have CPanel or management access on the Vultr anymore - long story.)

Two, disregarding all of the above, how can I build a new, up-to-date responsive WP site that looks and functions similar to the old school PrimePress theme with minimal coding or design knowledge? I want to basically recreate my old site layout, nav, rotating header, colours, etc. while also adding newer features and plug-ins.

Thanks, everyone, for kindly helping a noob like me.
