I can answer part of your question. It's your lucky day. According to the Google Blog, as of yesterday you can port your own number to Google Voice. http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/port-your-existing-mobile-number-to.html They tested this a few days ago and temporarily stopped it, but now it looks permanent. I don't have T-mobile so can't answer the rest of the question.
