I have three questions, which are all related to a game I am currently playing in Throne of Bhaal and its very imminent conclusion. 

I developed Viconia much further than I normally develop NPCs. She is level 38.  I would like to somehow import both her and my protagonist character into Shadows of Amn or maybe even Baldur's Gate 1, so that I can play through again.  Ideally, I would like my entire party to go through as well, which includes Sarevok, but at minimum I want to import my protagonist and Viconia into one of the earlier games and ideally into both.  Is there a mod or some other way that will allow me to do this?

I also did the romance with Viconia this game, and found this a much more interesting plot than I had previously thought it would be.  Is there a mod, which will allow me to continue the romance with Viconia beyond Throne of Bhaal?

Also, I have one other issue in that game that I am hoping someone can help me resolve.  When I beat Irenicus in Shadows of Amn, I didn't realize that in Throne of Bhaal I would not be able to still travel into the Shadows of Amn areas.  Therefore, I left all the quest items I wasn't using at the moment in deArnise Hold, where I was storing them.  Unfortunately, this included all the items from Watcher's Keep that I need to advance to the keep's lower levels.  Is there anyway that I can get these items back? If not, is there a way I can get into the keep without the wardstone and to the third level without all the scepters?  I thought I might be able to use cheats to re-create the items, but despite editing the Baldur.ini file, I can't access the CLUA Console for some reason.  Does anyone know what to do in this situation?

Thanks!

Playing bg1 or soa bg2 with lvl38 charachers is no fun, enemies do not scale. For everything else there is Shadowkeeper.

Can't use the console, that is bad. It might be a fault in the Space or Control keys on your keyboard but I doubt it. If you could get it working, you could move to the stronghold keep, area AR1304. (Area AR1300 is the original monster-infested keep.)
You might want to check that "Cheats = #" does not occur twice or something like that.

The point of having such powerful characters in Shadows of Amn is that there were several quests that I was not powerful enough to complete while I was playing Shadows of Amn itself. The illithid city in the Underdark, for example, was too difficult no matter what I did, so I had to load an earlier save and just skip it. I want to go back with my two most powerful characters and try to beat all those quests.

One aspect of this game that makes it more difficult than normal ones is that I only have three characters in my party. Right now they are Viconia, Sarevok, and my protagonist. For 200 days, game time, Viconia and my protagonist were the only characters in my party, but for the first 150 or so I had the full six characters. In my opinion, playing with only two characters adds an interesting dimension to the game, as completely different strategies must be used. In Throne of Bhaal Viconia and my protagonist (who is a fighter/mage) slaughtered the armies of the five, which appeared to be infinite, due to careful strategy. If I had six characters it would have been near impossible to beat such large groups of enemy soldiers due to the logistics of manuevering amongst them, although battles against smaller numbers of opponents, such as Abazigal and Draconis, would have been easier.

There are also some things that I would have done differently, such as my treatment of the cowled wizards. I want to confront them directly and wipe them out in large numbers, which I can only do with powerful characters. I did something similar in Baldur's Gate 1 a few years ago by re-importing a victorious protagonist character and playing BG1 3.5 times. I slaughtered flaming fist enforcers in my last game of BG1 and collected so many of their helmets in a drawer that it took 5 minutes just to scroll through them all. Unfortunately my computer eventually crashed so I lost that game.

I don't really want to start a BG1 game again unless I have a powerful character. I think bringing Viconia to BG1 would be particuarly interesting since it comes out in the romance that she was badly mistreated by the people in Beregost. She and my protagonist, and Sarevok if I could bring him too, could wreak destruction on Beregost and other parts of the Sword Coast and become the new Lords of Murder. It would be a fitting epilogue, I think, to my victory in Throne of Bhaal, to actually play as an effective god and goddess couple in another BG game, in this case BG1.

I suggest importing only your main character and then either using Shadowkeeper to improve Viconia to the point where you left her or simply have Level1NPCs give her the same amount of XP that your protagonist has.

I also did the romance with Viconia this game, and found this a much more interesting plot than I had previously thought it would be.  Is there a mod, which will allow me to continue the romance with Viconia beyond Throne of Bhaal?

I think there was a total conversion mod that played after ToB, "Return to Trademeet" or something like that. Don't ask me about details though, I've never played it and I never was interested in it.

Also, I have one other issue in that game that I am hoping someone can help me resolve.  When I beat Irenicus in Shadows of Amn, I didn't realize that in Throne of Bhaal I would not be able to still travel into the Shadows of Amn areas.  Therefore, I left all the quest items I wasn't using at the moment in deArnise Hold, where I was storing them.

I usually store them somewhere in Athkatla, because this way I don't have to travel so far just to get my stuff.

If not, is there a way I can get into the keep without the wardstone and to the third level without all the scepters?  I thought I might be able to use cheats to re-create the items, but despite editing the Baldur.ini file, I can't access the CLUA Console for some reason.  Does anyone know what to do in this situation?

Why don't you ask for advice on how to defeat them with low level characters rather than how to get high level characters there?

Don't say "normal". Say "new".
Back in the day, games were supposed to be challenging (to the point of having the players despair, sometimes).

I don't really want to start a BG1 game
again unless I have a powerful character. I think bringing Viconia to
BG1 would be particuarly interesting since it comes out in the romance
that she was badly mistreated by the people in Beregost. She and my
protagonist, and Sarevok if I could bring him too, could wreak
destruction on Beregost and other parts of the Sword Coast and become
the new Lords of Murder. It would be a fitting epilogue, I think, to my
victory in Throne of Bhaal, to actually play as an effective god and
goddess couple in another BG game, in this case BG1.

The only way to get ANYTHING imported from BG2 to BG1 is by using either Tutu or BGT (I suggest BGT, so you don't lose Viconia again after finishing BG1). I'd try recreating Sarevok in multiplayer mode (while using one of the tricks mentioned above for Viconia). Just remember to move your savegame from the MPSave folder to the Save folder once you have Sarevok.

Appropriate tactics and spells make the difference between nasty casualties and easy victory. Chaotic Commands will deal with most Illithid nastiness but not Intelligence drain. After each Int drain wait till the person recovers before fighting the next batch of Mind Flayers. Brine Potions should help when you find them.

Re the console, if you've installed to the default program files location on Vista or later you need to edit the other version of baldur.ini, found in the compatibility location.
