I can click on a complete Rule or an Action and copy/paste the data.
My version is the latest (v6243) but I believe several earlier

No, this only works for copy/pasting entire rules. I think the other
users was trying to copy/paste single (or multiple) conditions or
actions in order to, for example, merge 2 rules.
Yes, exactly. I was trying to consolidate rules.
To be honest, I don't really know how hard this would be to implement.
Especially drag'n'drop. Copy/paste context sensitive menu items for
all actions or all conditions would likely be easier.
It would be handy to be able to drag conditions or actions from one rule
to another, or to be able to select the contents of a rule and paste
them inside another rule and have the conditions get added to the
conditions of the pasted into rule and the actions get added to the
actions of that rule. But, to be honest, I think other rule enhancements
would be more broadly useful. For example, Mac Eudora had a couple of
extremely helpful features with its rules: first, you could select a
message and then option-click to open the rules window, and the rules
that matched the selected message would be highlighted. Second, each
rule showed the date when it last acted, which made it easy to delete or
update obsolete rules.
If you were to implement the first feature, I'd suggest making it a menu
item (perhaps "highlight rules that match selected messages," similar to
"apply rules to selected messages") rather than opening the rules with a
bucky-bit. That made it too obscure for many users to know about.
