No, migrating to an X570 platform won't affect your performance.

Gaming performance is heavily tied to memory speed and frame rate. For example, enabling an XMP profile on a RAM kit can boost 1080p frame rates by up to 30fps. Having very fast RAM like 4000MHz is beneficial, but using slower RAM or reducing speed might actually hurt performance more than help. Staying with Intel or Z490 could be better if you want to maintain those gains from your high-speed RAM.
Only if the particular game gains advantages from a quicker RAM would this apply.
I haven't explored the x570 much... It's unclear what benefits it offers. My main use is for gaming on my PC.
Checking B550 or your latest system. If you mean the present setup, it's best to use modern CPUs.
Comparing the DDR4000 10th gen and DDR3600 Zen 3, I’d think the Zen 3 would perform slightly better, though the gap isn’t huge enough to justify an upgrade just for gaming. Intel’s 12th gen leaks aren’t impressive, so the main focus should be on the new generation GPUs that need PCIe 4.0. The CPU upgrade can be postponed until the GPU releases.
Sorry for the oversight—I usually overlook details like Intel when discussing Zen 3.
Do you think it's better to stay put instead of moving?...or is it more beneficial to upgrade? Also, yes, I'm leaning toward keeping Intel for now...I'd like to explore how Alder Lake performs.
Ensuring your 10600K is fully utilized through overclocking will bring it up to par with Zen 3 performance when paired with a Titan RTX. At 1080p with an RTX 3090 without overclocking, the 10600K lags about 15% behind Zen 3 chips. This difference can be reduced by half with overclocking, and since you're using just a Titan, the gap will narrow further. I wouldn't fear losing performance from a switch; my concern would be whether the improvement is noticeable after your investment.
