Sorry for confusing I would not solve the 2 problems that was only
what I have tried.

Moving from 32bit FAI server to a 64bit Server best practice was my
question. 

Now I think setting up a original Debian 64 bit server from CD and
installing fai would be the best way. Because that is the normal way.

PS:
First Problem is a debootstrap/chroot problem. And I think that 64bit 
bootstrap should not work in a 32bit environment. 

debootstrap --arch amd64 squeeze /tmp/t2/
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian

W: Failure trying to run: chroot /tmp/t2 mount -t proc proc /proc

gnomehost:/home/demo# chroot /tmp/t2
chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error

Has not set the /etc/network/interfaces so NFS has problems.

So going this way does not work, the other way seams more work so if
someone had done it he can show me the right way. 

Thanks for your help!
