Oh and NO!!! you do not have to turn off your phone first, which I have read many places. I don't know if this works on any other touch pros but I confirm working on my Sprint one.
1. Hold down Power Button (on Top), Volume down Button, and the Center keypad button (black circle on front).
2. While holding all three buttons, place your stylus in the soft reset hole and keep it pressed down in there, until the hard reset screen comes on.
EDIT:: Just tried it again, you don't need to hold the soft reset button in just press it.
There is nothing else, just two steps. Works every time for me, though it is kind of challenging. I usually hold the stylus with my teeth. lol enjoy
Hope this clears this issue up, they even have it wrong on the HTCWiki... Sad..

I've always done a hard reset by just holding the volume down, then pressing and holding the power button, then using the stylus to hold town the soft reset button until the rainbow screen shows up. That way no need to hold the stylus in your teeth!

Yes you can as long as your PIM backup file is stored on your SD card. You may have to reinstall PIM backup if it's not included in the ROM you're using though. Good luck.
