Some small comments:

wrt Step 1:
If you have a connection flight in the Schengen area (e.g. from
Frankfurt or Amsterdam to Prague) you will likely have the passport/visa
check already in Frankfurt or Amsterdam, and likely will not be checked
again when arriving in Prague.

wrt Step2:
When using an ATM cash machine I recommend to withdraw an amount that is
not one large bill that most shop assistants will grumpily refuse.
For example, don't withdraw 2000CZK as you might receive one big bill.
Withdraw something like 2200 or 1800 instead.
The smallest bill is 100CZK (Czech crowns) which is 4EUR.
You could get change by buying something simply like a bottle of water
(there are shops in the airport - it will be slightly overpriced as in
every airport, but not a complete rip-off or such).

wrt Step 3:
Prague Airport definitely has free wifi (for 15 minutes, then you need
to reconnect).

wrt Step 3 (the second one):

Information on StudentAgency stop, map, GPS coordinates:
http://jizdenky.studentagency.cz/en/boarding-places/17552003.html

wrt Step 4:
You might need to switch the StudentAgency bus at "Florenc" central bus
station in Prague.

wrt Step 6:
Public transportation tickets in Brno: See
https://www.guadec.org/travel/#brno for potential ticket types and
price. You can buy tickets both at machines and at the driver's (though
I would not expect the driver to speak English), and a single-way ticket
will be definitely less than 50CZK. If you are unsure I'd recommend to
just ask "Tererova" to the driver when entering the tram, which is the
name of the stop where you want to get off.

In most trams and busses, the name of the next step is shown on a
display and/or is announced via loudspeakers.

wrt Troubleshooting:
If luggage is lost, there is an info desk in every airport terminal
where you file out a form, describe how your luggage looks like, and
provide them with contact information info. Your luggage will be
delivered to that address once it's been located and identified.
