The lans I go to are too small to really bear much advice to you on the questions you listed.

Where I can provide some insight is in the types of table top games you should consider. Lots of folks (in the lan community) have been exposed to traditional pen/paper stuff like DnD. If you're looking to spice things up a bit, consider trying out some of the modern board games that are out. I'm sure some of your attendees will have already been exposed to these, but for the rest that haven't, they'll probably strike at least an interest or a few questions. BoardGameGeek has a list of the top board games out right now, some of which you might not have heard of. Settlers of Catan, Dominion, Race for the Galaxy, Carcassonne are some of the most popular. They're flashy, they're interesting, and they're usually under an hour (if not usually under 45 min) to play. They're an up and coming type of gaming that's spreading fast among the table-top/CCG/comics folks.

Edit: In retrospect, I kinda seem like a fanboy for this post, but holy shit they're really awesome games.

Do you need an expensive bag or suitcase? No, but I'm sure that it would make carrying it to the bus & from the bus to the venue a heck of a lot easier. At the minimum I would suggest getting a rolling cart like this to make transporting it all easier. The other option would be to get something like Gear Grips for the case and a monitor case from Pelican or Gator if you plan on doing this frequently.

No problem. I'm just glad they still make them. They used to have them for LCD screens but i'm not sure if you can find them for bigger LCD monitors. I rocked one when my 21" 4:3 was cool.

Amazon is amazing - https://www.amazon.com/ROCCAT-Widescreen-Designed-Flatscreen-Monitors/dp/B002RSQ732/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485559792&sr=8-1&keywords=monitor+carrying+case

This guy is a pretty good resource. Check out "Section 4: networking" under his A+ study videos. He also has a Network+ series. If you decide you really want to get in depth you might check out a CCNA study guide like this one. CCNA goes more into enterprise level stuff than you will need (and it's obviously cisco-centric), but you will still learn a lot of good networking theory.

100 Mbps is old fashioned. It doesn't cost that much more to get a gigabit capable switch and is totally worth it.

Appreciate it man!

Will this suffice? As I'll have to lug my screen + case, max height is 1070mm and both rig+screen are 1040ish. https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B001GU6FYI/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1AT7YVPFBWXBL

I'd recommend thicker gauge extension cables to support the 15amp circuit and heavy duty gaffer tape (don't use it on walls) to hold it down. Try to balance laptops and desktops, not just for electrical load balancing, but table space.

Honestly, you will want internet. Someone will need an update. Some games require you to connect to an online matchmaking service. What I would do is buy a really long ethernet cable to connect the router to the switch. Very low-tech, but not very expensive.
