And why shouldn't you have it refinished or repainted? It's your bloody bike after all! If you don't like the little chips then get it repainted, or use a stone-chip bottle to fill in the chips.
When T-Cutting, yes you should avoid the decals. A swipe over them here and there won't hurt them, but rubbing it over them might, depending on what type of decal it is.
When T-Cutting, do it with a damp cloth, or use a water mister bottle to wet the frame as you go along. Then you'll need to apply a wax of some sort to protect the finish - Turtle Wax in the green tin is very cheap and does an excellent job.
