Will we be seeing a Miz DVD coming out soon? And if so, which three matches would you include of his - both singles and tag?

I haven't heard any plans for one.  If I had to pick matches, I would go with his World Title win (even though it isn't long, it is a major moment in his career), his Money In The Bank win, and his U.S. Title win over Kofi Kingston.
 
Saw HBK using the Crossface at WM26, so I'm wondering - if someone lower on the ladder than HBK (Bryan, Morrison, McIntyre, whoever) used the Crossface, would they go unpunished?
 
Daniel Bryan and others have used a variation of the crossface, and there was no punishment.  I think Michaels, and later Triple H, essentially "broke the ice" on using a crossface in the match, as they were the first WWE stars to use the move following the Benoit tragedy. 

So according to 'Lion's Tale: Around The World In Spandex' and 'Breaking the Code,' only Lance Storm and Chris Jericho were the only ones who made it out of their class at the Hart Brothers Camp. Were there any others out of that class that made moderate success?

To be honest, I've never heard of any other names mentioned that were training there at the same time as Storm and Jericho.  There were others that came later, like Justin Credible (who has said that Storm was actually the one training him at the camp) but not at the same time.

If you were given complete control over TNA, what would you change, who wouldn't be there, who would you add etc.

For starters, I wouldn't add anyone.  There is more than enough quality talent on that roster, it just needs to be utilized better.  I would take the time to make a full evaluation of the company, from top to bottom.  I'd interview everyone, find out what they contribute to the company, and from there determine who is really helping TNA, and who is hurting it.  Then it would be time to clean house, removing those who are simply collecting a paycheck or just taking up space because they are friends with someone that has influence.  Once the staff and roster are cleaned up, then the focus would be on mapping out the creative direction of the company, deciding which talents would be pushed as headline stars, and what the goals are for the immediate and long-term future. 

Besides the days when the world champion had to go to different places and depending on who he had to wrestle had to either be a face or a heel, who in the cable TV era do you  think had the most change back and fort of being a face and a heel? I think Lex Lugar went face/heel so much you could never really trust him. Flair also had a bunch of turns. Who do you think had the most turns?

I'd have to go with Lex Luger or Paul Orndorff, who were the innovators of the "multiple turn" personalities in wrestling.  It seemed those two were constantly switching sides, long before the Monday Night Wars, where frequent turns became commonplace.
