I really think we'll see a TON of stuff from the new movie. Lucas is waaaaay better at planning for things like that now - I mean, he even gave the Jedi Starfighters costume changes in RotS (red to blue for Obi, yellow to green for Ani). I'm sure there will be plenty of things thrown into the movie specifically for toys... plus Adventure Indy, Indy in Inca gear, Indy in suit, Battle Damage Indy, etc etc.
As for kids, I think Lucas & Hasbro are counting on Dads showing kids the old movies either before or after going to see the new movie - that will breed a lot of interest in them. I've also seen rumors of plans to re-release the Indy movies this winter to get the marketing machine rolling... just like they did with the OT circa 1997 to get the old stuff on the kids radar prior to TPM.
