How can I move a scale (G major for example) down to higher frets to make it a high pitched "soloing" sound? Will I just have to look for the same notes on the same strings in the same order, but higher?

Draw a picture of the neck and strings with all the frets.
make dot with all the notes that make up the scale on every fret/string that they reside. then look for the pattern.  You will see it.

you may notice there is a scale generator right here on this site. look up G major it will have several different ways to play the same scale in different voicings

Any tips on remembering scales? There are so many and so many different versions of the same one. What would be most important scale(s) to learn in any type of music involving guitar?

take a couple each day and compile them over time is one suggestion or three  a week or what ever you pace may be yes there are many scales but each scale(of the same type) has the same interval no matter where it is played. so once you recognize the intervals you are on your way.i think that the pentatonics are the most fun to learn ( but thats just my opinion)although i know i am not alone on that one. most important is going to be C major as it is known as the mother scale. it has all natural notes no sharps or flats so it is easy to relate too,

Alright then before anything I'll jump on those scales for the year, or a few months, and learn all the major pentatonic scales and C major. Then, I'll move on to more complex stuff and I hope my songs will get better and better, as will my band.

use your ear for this one actually it will help you find fingerings that work for you. play G major in the first position starting 3rd fret then play it on 1 string on the E string playing e f# G a b c d e and then again on the a string a b c d e f# g a and then on the D string and so on and so on and do it ll an octave higher too.....every fret you just played is in the G scale now using this knowledge start linking it together on different parts of the Fretboard
