1. What can be done at the quantum level

may not necessarily be possible on a macroscopic level. The old analogy of the probability of a car passing through a wall comes to mind. It has a probability, it is just vanishingly low.

You would have to hold the nature and position of every atom in a human body in memory and reconstitute it using the available elements at the transportation location. That is 7*10^27 atoms. I doubt we will ever have imaging technology sufficient to even construct such a map, let alone the storage capacity to hold it.
