I want to enable Frontpage extensions so I can redesign my site using Visual Studio and ASP.NET.

How will that affect my current site which consists of non-frontpage html and asp pages?

In other words, will my current site stay up and running while I am still developing the new, redesigned version?

Thanks in advance.

FP extension will not change any of your existing files.

It will create a bunch of weird directories throughout your website though (_vti_*)

The other potential problem w/ FP is that it messes with permission that may cause problem.

Tell you the truth, we do not even use FP extension ourselve to publish the website (because it's a pain). We just copy all the aspx, dll files to the server.
