Welcome back.
1. Is the Auctioneer addon still the best addon for tracking prices ect?
I remember back in the day it had a "side-addon" that could list
if any autions were very profitable to buy but can't remember the name.
Well, "best" is pretty subjective, but Auctioneer is in my opinion still the best. The "side addon" you are referring to sounds like Bottom Scanner, which is included in the
Auctioneer Suite.
2. I remember an addon called Gatherer that tracked herbs/veins is that still around?
If not, is there a similar/better addon for all herb/vein hotspots in-game?
Yes,
Gatherer is still alive. If you pick it up, don't forget to grab the
Wowhead node data addon as well. You might also be interested in using
Routes in conjunction with Gatherer to map out an efficient farming route.
3. I used to have an addon that could display items currently on your other chars or their bank.
It would even display the number of items when you did mouse-over.
Have long forgotten the name of the addon - so if anyone remember it please let me know.
I personally don't use these addons since I mail anything worth something to my bank guild, but I believe you are describing something like
Altoholic.
4. Lastly, is curse.com the best/most reliable place to get addons?
WowAce,
Curse, and
WoWInterface are still the most used addon sites. They might not have the latest release versions of some addons, though. Some developers use their own sites and infrequently push their updates to the larger sites (see Auctioneer and Gatherer from above).

The Undermine Journal. Hands down nothing is better. I'd advise you both to check it out. It's simply amazing.
