Just be careful taking the molding down and you should be fine (no major structural damage). In fact, an ethernet port is a good thing in a modern house.

Not a bad idea although I have not had any problems with useing heat ducts in the past. One note is that you should be careful with any bends or twists the wires make. Most Cat5 is somewhat thin wire inside and could break if you are not nice to it.
