Will SE/robots mind if you visit my site day www.blah.com and then get forwarded to www.blah.com/site?

It is not recommended to do it this way but if there is a reason to do that them make sure that you are doing 301 redirection .. I am not sure why do you need the question mark at the end if you are not passing and variable

I think the question mark at the end of his URL is not included. He was just asking a question that's why it's included on the domain.

Yes, this is fine to do, just use 301 redirects. If on apache you can easily do this with .htaccess files.

Also, if you have lots of olddomain.com/pagenames.html then use a wild card redirect to redirect olddomain.com/pagename.html to newdomain.com/pagename.html etc $1 etc.

Plenty of guides online and htaccess builders too.

Good luck.
