Yes, rooting usually voids your warranty, though that depends a bit on the regulations in your country.
Also, yes, your observation is right. The stock ROM doesn't support "Apps2SD" by itself. The "Move to SD" button is not there. Archos actually removed a few bits in the Settings ... like the "Wifi sleep policy" setting in the "Advanced" menu of the Wifi and the "Advanced" menu of the "Storage" where you could select "USB Mass Storage", "MTP" or "PTP".
The got rid of the "Mass Storage mode selection" in favor of their own selection menu when you connect the device via USB - when you tap the notification you will be presented with a selection screen where you can set USB Debugging Mode, Media Transfer Protocol mode (MTP) or have the device show the "Install Driver" partition to the Computer. A great idea but other manufacturers solved it without "breaking" the default storage mode selection in the Settings.
Anyway, if you root the tablet you gain access to the system parts of the OS. You then can freely do adjustments to the config files of the OS.
For example, the default "vold.fstab", which is responsible for mounting the various storages, looks like this (trimmed)...
Code:
#wmt sd
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/sdmmc.0
#wmt usb
dev_mount udisk /mnt/udisk auto /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00
dev_mount udisk_boot_udisk /mnt/udisk auto /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/usb1/1-1
dev_mount udisk_boot_udisk /mnt/udisk auto /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/usb1/1-2
dev_mount udisk_boot_udisk /mnt/udisk auto /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/usb1/1-3
#wmt localdisk
dev_mount localdisk /mnt/internal auto /devices/virtual/mtd/mtd13/mtdblock13
dev_mount udisk_boot_localdisk /mnt/local auto /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/usb1/1-4
As you can see this file tells the system to where to mount the various devices. With root access you could now pull the file off the device, edit it, and put it back - to swap out the internal NAND SD with the real mSD.
The downside of such a modification is that you can't easily unmount or remove the SD as the SD will then be crucial to the device operation - and that's why I didn't post a altered vold.fstab example. Going down that route has pros and cons which are best carefully considered.

While I never used Link2SD on any of my devices it should let you select to where to "copy" the directories (read: to the mSD instead of the NAND SD). However, take into consideration that if you move installed apps, or other things that are crucial to the system operation, to the mSD you cannot unmount or remove the SD.
