I can't find the straight answers to these questions in this thread or others, so if I'm repeating something I apologize:
1. Will Conrad Verner and other such characters/side quests show up in existing PS3 copies of ME2 and 3 with a ME1 import save? Or will they only be on the trilogy discs? Or not at all, anywhere?
2. Will all the DLC/Cerberus Network/ME3 CE content I've unlocked and downloaded through my purchases still be present with the Trilogy discs of ME2 and 3 or no?
If anyone knows the answers, I'd much appreciate it. Thanks! 
To answer your questions:
1. I believe so, since all reports I've heard mention that all of the side characters are in ALL versions of ME2/3. But sincee the ME:Genesis save cannot create the appropriate flags, they weren't present originally. This should cross over into ANY version of ME2 & 3, be it regular or Trilogy editions.
2. It HAS been mentioned before that any DLC that you bought ffor the other versions of ME 2 & 3 ARE compatible with the Trilogy versions of 2 & 3, so you won't have to buy them again. For example, let's say you bought Arrival for ME2 before you got the Trilogy edition. That copy of Arrival will work with either version of ME2 you have. This should also apply to the ME3 N7 Collector's Edition DLC with the Trilogy version of ME3.
Hope this helps.
