It's possible, but you should take a look at the following page. There are a few things to keep in mind: https://www.synology.com/de-de/knowledgebase/DSM/tutorial/General/How_to_migrate_between_Synology_NAS_DSM_6_0_and_later#t2.2 The section "2.2 Migration between different Synology NAS models" is interesting for you.
Yes, there is Synology's own software that can be installed with which both NAS backups to the cloud and cloud backups to the NAS can be made. Both can also be done automatically according to a predefined schedule.

No, there are no hard drives included. But here is a set incl. 4x 3TB Synology DS418 Softbundle (4 x 3TB, WD Red) I bought it that way. You only have to install and configure the hard drives.

According to this link, the ds411 does not manage too high write speeds either: https://global.download.synology.com/download/Document/DataSheet/DiskStation/11-year/DS411/Synology_DS411_Data_Sheet_deu.pdf --> Synology DS411 delivers an average read speed of 105.3 MB/sec. of 105.3 MB/sec in a RAID 5 configuration in a Windows environment, while the write speed is 47.8 MB/sec. in a Windows environment. the ds418 achieves quite a bit more according to this link: https://www.synology.com/de-de/products/DS418 Performance Sequential throughput of over 226 MB/s (read) and 170 MB/s (write) but if this is the right choice for you, you have to decide for yourself :-)

Yes that is possible
No - it's a bit misleading, 48TB is certainly the maximum capacity (48TB at that price would be sensational ;) ).

What I understood - with other products - Digitec offers the warranty itself, not through Synology, but with its partners. Therefore, you can also buy the Synology warranty, which is independent from this one. But it's not worth it, because - if you have problems - you will only be able to take advantage of one warranty. Digitec warranty is good and sufficient in my experience.

Yes
No adapter is necessary but suitable screws. The 2.5" hard disks are not only plugged in like the 3.5" but are screwed onto the drive carriers. See page 7 https://global.download.synology.com/download/Document/Hardware/HIG/DiskStation/18-year/DS418/enu/Syno_HIG_DS418_enu.pdf

In principle, yes, but it is important to update the DSM on the old DiskStation beforehand and possibly back up the settings, Also note the order of the disks. Here is a good tutorial on how to move disks. https://www.tutonaut.de/synology-nas-festplatten-und-daten-in-ein-neues-nas-gehaeuse-mitnehmen/

Hello There is an HCL (EOL WLAN dongle) on the manufacturer's website. EOL means there is no further development. I would therefore use the Wifi from the Internet router --> many Internet providers offer an integrated solution, simply connect the NAS to the Internet router with an Ethernet cable. If it is for business use, it is better to hire a professional to do it.

In principle, yes. Preferably one on the compatibility list, then there will certainly be no problems: https://www.synology.com/de-de/compatibility?search_by=products&model=DS418&category=hdds_no_ssd_trim&p=1
