Let's assume that somehow my company manages to get the Developer name changed in the Developer Account at the App Store. In this case, what would happen to the existing apps:
Will the existing apps remain happily at the App Store without any effect?
Will I need to get new certificates from the Developer portal?
If yes, will I need to submit a new build of my Apps to the App Store?
If yes, will the bundle identifier of my subsequent releases would be different?
If yes, then how would the users be able to get updates to the apps?
Any help would be great!
I asked about it here, and we made renaming.
Non of our apps were forced to be resubmitted. We used all certificates with old names and it worked fine. I can't provide info about legal information that we send to Apple (not a coders did that), but one day we just saw another company name in the App Store and we did nothing to our apps.

I'm planning to crate a service that among other things creates an iPhone app based on a template and submits it to the AppStore almost without human intervention.
Is that allowed by apple?
Some similar startups now require users to use their own developers account (which costs $100 and will not be paid by my users).
In principle I don't see why not, as regular developers are allowed to submit their customer's apps. Am I missing something?
It is definitely not allowed by apple. As that would be using a single developer account to submit apps, from someone different that the person that purchased the account (you in this case).
Besides if they can submit anything, if someone submits something inappropriate under your name, it will be your problem not theirs.
Furthermore I am pretty sure your clients, would want their name in the AppStore for their app and not yours.
This is definitely not allowed by Apple. Even if it was, the apps would be under your name so any in app purchase would be put into your bank account (cha-ching $$$)

Is it possible and legal to remove an App Store app (I ALREADY OWN AND I PUBLISHED IT) and publish it fresh again with:
a) the same bundle id
b) different name/description and bundle identifier?
Many many apps in the app store have changed their Bundle Name (name under the icon) and app store name and description. Sometimes with an app the behaves and/or looks very different. For whether this is legal or allowed by Apple, you have to read the iOS standard agreement, and submit an app to Apple. Customers may or may not appreciate this change.
You have to be the original submitter of an app to reuse a Bundle ID and submit it.

Does anyone know how I may delete some APP ID I've created into the Apple Provisioning portal and that are not used (created by mistake or for testing) ? I've read some answers from last year that says that it's not possible. Seems strange... And perhaps things have changed ?
Nope, last I checked you still can't delete App IDs.
IIRC, the reason given for this is that it's easy enough to simply create a new App ID for a new app, so why bother deleting old ones (or something like that).
Also, Apple seems to have a habit of making such things permanent and un-deletable (you can't delete Apple IDs, either).
You will have to contact Apple Dev Support. I believe a client of mine ran into this issue before and with a little fuss I believe it was removed.

Has anybody tried to submit the same app with different name to the app store?
Assumed that the app is under the same iOS developer program account, and is not a lite version.
Thanks ^m^
Don't. You should not try to submit the same app under a different name to the App Store. It is not how the App Store works. As #Jeremiah said, there is a similar thread on StackOverflow: Can I submit the same app to the App Store under multiple, different accounts/identities? and in it, #bobwaycott notes that the App Store Guidelines state:
2.20 Developers "spamming" the App Store with many versions of similar
apps will be removed from the iOS
Developer Program
Yes, all you have to do is to copy your project to a different location, and rename it:

It will be treated as a different project with configuration rewritten by xcode.

There are a lot of useful apps already available in the app store and I don't want to reinvent them just because i think they'd be useful to be part of my app. So I'm wondering whether it is possible to sell them from within my app, whereby the user can purchase them without leaving the comfy confines of my app. Any idea about this? Or will the user always have to head over to the App Store to get their hands on them?
On a side note, it would be nice if i could get some commission for selling them within my app (can't imagine Apple would allow that though).
No this is not possible. Best you can do is redirect the user to the app store app from within your app to the app the user wants more info on.
That's a question for Apple. You might check out Apple's In App Purchase Programming Guide.
