Yes, Templates can be used to provide default values to a larger number of Connections.
What you set in the Template you do not need to set in the Connection.
(unfortunately, for some values RouterOS does not keep the value in the Connection "blank" but instead copies the value from the Template which then becomes a parameter of the Connection - probably a bug)
When you migrate BGP config from v6 to v7 using the automatic upgrade, some things tend not to go well.
I have encountered several problems doing this, and I would strongly urge you not to do the upgrade remotely when your access to the remote router depends on BGP working correctly.
Some things that were possible in v6 are no longer available in v7, and you will need to work around that.
You could post the bgp part of your config here and I'll have a look to see if there are obvious problems.
