Guys Domains Transfer fee is like a renewal fee. It's the renewal fee that is taken by the new Registrar where you transfer the domain. No Registra can take a transfer fee and then a renewal fee for the next year. The transfer fee is the renewal fee for next year.
And I wouldn't let a domain expire so I can re-register it for cheaper. Unless it's a worthless one. If it is a worthless one then no need to reregister. There are those who looking for those potential domains which dropped by accidentally or for other reasons. They use the process called Domains BackOrdering to buy it before it becomes available public again. So it's a domain which used to have a big site then there is a good chance you lose it. Some Registrars do even worse things than that. For Example when there is an expired domain first thing they do it tries to auction the domain. If nobody buys then it goes for those who BlackOrders it and if nobody had back Ordered it either only then the domain gets released.

Yes. Technically you can turn off auto-renewal and transfers. But when it's a domain which was given under a promo Some domain registrars are not so nice when you try to transfer it away next year. This used to be problem with Yahoo and 1&1 both. There were addtional terms which triggered when you try to tranfer the domain away. Especially Yahoo domain support was ridiculous. They had no clue about what they were suppose to do. they have quick a bad rep for that. But I don't know if they have changed or improved. But personally I don't touch either of those with my past experince.
