It's less, because no package manager is involved, it's only you who
knows about this extra software.

Since you've fetched the sources of GNU Emacs 24.0.50 with bzr you can
read the README and INSTALL files...

No. Modern Emacsen understand the byte-code of their ancestors.
There's of course always a chance that some changes in ELisp are
incompatible.

Of course! The chance to find a bug...

There aren't noticeable differences. New configure options are
introduced: --with-mmdf, --with-mail-unlink, --with-mailhost.
Customize buffers now have a "Choose" button to pick a colour via list-
colors-display. A new completion style, "substring," has been added
and animated GIFs can be played – I could not try these yet.
Since your Linux PC is controlled be a package manager you should
create a package from GNU Emacs 24.0.50 and install that.
