Possibly they have Laris, Worf's son, Troi... I've run out already! The Star Trek crew aren't big on family connections. Geordie's is safe, we know. Beverley's son is safe. Unless they somehow captured Wesley, but he's a superbeing now. I'm thinking they probably only have Troi though.
The refit featured in some good films, but the -A replacement was only in Star Trek V and VI. I know I don't rate The Undiscovered Country very highly compared to most, but even if you think it was great, the ship barely did anything in that movie except be a target for photon torpedoes.
I personally pretty much consider the refit and the A the same ship. I know technically they're not, but they're basically the same in my head.
The in-universe explanation/excuse is that it's for warp travel - the more streamlined shape allows the warp bubble to flow more smoothly around the ship.
For me it's between the refit original Enterprise and the D, though I really like the Ambassador-class C, which manages to capture a lot of the best from both styles. I wish it had had more screen time.
It tracks. More AI means more people are unencumbered by jobs and can enjoy the Maximum Utopia provided by the UFP
Sure, until M5 Mk XVII decides that it needs to route more power through an apartment block, for efficiency purposes.
I'm trying not to fall for recency bias, but Pike's Enterprise from Discovery and Strange New Worlds might be my favourite implementation of the Enterprise.
