Presumably you have created one or more user defined dictionaries, to which you have added your specialised words. These will be found in the wordbook directory in your user profile and can be simply copied across to the new computer, along with any other files you may need for special configuration of your OpenOffice. See [Tutorial] The OpenOffice User Profile for more information.

Yes you can.
Copy the whole user profile (beware the /backup folder may contain a lot of file that you can discard.
