Filenames - is there anything in terms of Filename + ext that is OK on Windows but not OK on Linux? Name length? Specific characters?

I guess you will find your answers here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems under "Limits" section.

Good luck !

I personally only know about problems the other way round.
