1) you will have as many pets and mounts as you had before the transfer (the pets stay the same, the mounts will translate whevener racially different)
2) you will have your factions translate: neutrals will remain at their levels, aligned faction will translate (your Alliance Expedition 13450/21000 will become Warsong Offensive 13450/21000; your Stormpike Guard exalted will become Frostwolf Clan exalted). No one knows how they'll handle racial factions.
3) you will keep most of your achievements. Some faction-specialised achievements may or may not translate (I mean, the "Spring Fling" is trivial, but differs between both factions. Do you get the horde version when moving over? What if it's only partially done?)
4) you will probably get access to all the faction-specific questing, from level 1 onward. I don't think they're going to map every alliance quest to a matching horde quest, and mark them done on your horde toon when the alliance character had done it (and yes, you will lose that Loremaster achievement. Probably).
Their intent is really to let people switch over. Not to provide a fast reroll which is 80, uludar-geared, but who discovers every single spot on the map since he's lost all track of his past.
