Or do I need to install 3.0.7, restore my original database, upgrade to 3.5.4 and then install the hacks, causing a thread / post rollback when my members are able to use the board?

You would need to use your 3.0 database, install 3.5 vB, run the upgrade and then install the 3.5 versions of the hacks you need. Be aware that the hacks you use might not have an upgrade function (if they store things in the database).

I suggest you create a testboard first to test all things out before you do the production upgrade.

Changing the directory would only require you to update the board url in your settings, and maybe the cookie domain/path.
