As STS-122 is now using Atlantis and STS-120 is using Discovery, shouldn't these threads be swapped over to their new respective locations?

Mission: STS-122 - 24th International Space Station Flight (1E) -
Columbus Laboratory
Vehicle: Discovery (OV-103)
Location: Orbiter Processing Facility Bay 3
Launch Date: Targeted for Fall 2007
Launch Pad: 39-A
Crew: Frick, Poindexter, Walheim, Love, Melvin, Schlegel and Eyharts
Inclination/Orbit Altitude: 51.6 degrees/122 nautical miles
Processing of Discovery, which returned from the STS-116 mission on
Dec. 22, continues in Orbiter Processing Facility bay 3.
The installation of the new station-to-shuttle power transfer system
was completed this week. This system will allow the orbiter and
International Space Station to share power, enabling the orbiter to
remain docked for longer periods of time.
The orbiter power system validation was also finished this week.
Technicians continue replacing thermal tile around the main landing
gear door and the external tank doors with a stronger tile, known as
BRI tile.

Have they decided on seating positions for ascent and entry yet? And if so, who will be seated where (apart from the CDR and PLT of course)

I was wondering the same. All the sites I usually go on don't have this information yet as it is still a few missions down the line at the moment

Are there any videos of sts-116 landing from inside cameras besides L2? Are there any videos of launch of sts-116 from inside camera with internal comm?

The NASA TV coverage switched to the HUD cam at times, I think, but as far as the full inside cameras (from Deorbit burn, through re-entry, approach to the HAC - via a handheld camcorder - and then HUD for the full landing and post landing) then L2 only. STS-115 is the only one with full sound (also L2 - and easily the best video ever...remember, there's an edited clip that everyone can view:

Yes, but we have to wait until those changes in the planning documents become officially moved in the next schedule. However, it's very rare for them to revert back.

Don't forget the STS-97 entry vid
It had sound as well. And Justin, there are some inside launch views on Youtube. Just search STS-116 launch. It'll turn up eventually.
