Rollover previous 401ks to IRA or keep it there? An advisor offered 1% to manage it. Is it worth the fees or should I open vanguard ira and invest in one of the funds?

Keep or roll to new 401k. Don’t roll to traditional IRA as it will complicate doing backdoor Roth IRA in the future

I have offers to refinance which would give me a free $1,000 and slightly lower interest rate. Would refinancing now and then paying off the “newer debt” in 3 months negatively impact my credit score?
