Basically make a TimerJob in Visualstudio, write your code there and let this job run once a day.

Code:

1. get list
2. check if an item hasn't been modified since 365 days.
3. move to other list

Answer 2

Look into information management policies. That is what they are designed to accomplish.

Answer 3

@Gwny have an pretty good answer but you could also manage it with Powershell.

"PowerShell: This is the best option when it comes to copying list in your SharePoint site. Here is what you need to do."

Get an instance of the SharePoint Site Collection using SharePoint SPSite object. Open the root web. Save the list that you want to copy as a template using SaveAsTemplate method of SPList. Get a reference to the list template that is created. Add a list using SPListCollection.Add Method (String, String, SPListTemplate). When successful, this method will display the list GUID. Update the root web using SPWeb.Update

The code below only copy the list, if you want to achieve only the items you have to check each item in the list.

#//Replace the URL with your real site collection URL
$siteURL = "http://sitecollectionURL"
#//Replace the list title with your list title in site collection
$sourceListTitle = "My List Title"
$targetListTitle = "My Target List Title"

$site = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($siteURL)
$web = $site.OpenWeb()
$sourceList = $web.Lists[$sourceListTitle]
$sourceList.SaveAsTemplate($sourceListTitle,$sourceListTitle,$true)
$listTemplate = $site.GetCustomListTemplates($web)[$sourceListTitle]
$web.Lists.Add($targetListTitle, $targetListTitle, $listTemplate

Then set the Scheduled task to run each 365 day.
