Not sure what you mean here?  Do you mean you delete all the files
from your server?  Or you copy new files over?

Hard to say.  You can use MoMA (Mono Migration Assistant) over a .NET
assembly to determine is compatibility with Mono.  Odds are good (and
get better with each release) that you can just drop in your .NET
assembly under Mono (assuming Windows specific tricks aren't used).

NHibernate is a port of Hibernate to .NET.  It's trustworthy and
capable in production-ready projects.  The only problems I've had with
it have been due to my own ignorance.

If you're asking for a map of "Java tool X is .NET tool nX", that
might be a bit tricky.  In general, yes there are frameworks for the
stuff you mentioned (ASMX for web services, something like nServiceBus
or Mass Transit for asynchronous messaging).
