    Since you're familiar with Plesk, you can stick with it unless you have a reason to change.

    Linux distribution doesn't matter. At the heart of it they are all Linux, the reason to go with any particular one is preference. If you know a certain one better than the others it's in your interest to go with what you know. If you don't know any distro nor have preference, find out what other people whom you trust like or what hosting companies you'd consider doing business with unanimously offer. This is so you can get help if you need it and not get stuck with having to learn a new distro if you move again to a host that doesn't offer the distro you've spent time learning.

    So Plesk is a shared hosting platform; a suite of different programs that work together as one solution. The underlying OS it runs on doesn't really matter to the customer (unless your code is in .NET). Plesk can host email, but it's really tying into Mail Enable (for example) which is a program all by itself. The end-user doesn't know that, but the person responsible for administrating Plesk would. To the end-user (paying client), all of it is centralized in one access portal.

    It's not going to be a straight migration. There isn't a button to just download everything and then upload to another provider or server yourself. You're going to have to download all the content separately, upload, and configure online somewhat differently. Specifically if the other side isn't running Plesk.
     
    I recommend you seek consultation with a web developer. This kind of stuff is in their wheelhouse to help you understand what you've got, and how best to integrate and get it all back online. If there's any other deficiencies and/or requirements needed, they should be able to assist you with that as well.

    TLDR, there's no "easy way"
