Frenzy had some friends that took our picture with RJ and we got our books signed. The Q&A was pretty much nonexistent as there were a lot of people waiting to have books signed. However, I stuck around til the line thinned out and was able to ask 11 questions and get 10 answers and a RAFO.
So here goes, the questions I asked and the answers RJ gave. Note these are not direct quotes (I didn't have a tape recorder), but I wrote down his answer as he said it. Most are short answers, only a couple were more than a few sentence explanations.

RAFO.
I should clarify this. RJ said that many misinterpret RAFO. When he says RAFO, all he is saying is that the information might already be in the book and you need to read more carefully, or that it might be something he wants to use at a future point and doesn't want to give away at this point in time. It does not mean that it will show up later for certain. People are making assumptions and guesses and adding things to what RAFO actually means.

He sat and thought for a minute, still signing the book, pondered, then answered.
The One Power is finite but cannot be used up. When the weave is done, it returns to the Source. The way he put is was finite but infinitely reusable.

He was very nice and friendly. He wasn't personalizing any of the signings though since there were so many people. There were a couple of people dressed as Whitecloaks. RJ saw them when they came up, "not my favorite people, but the costumes look good".
I tried to catch some questions others asked while having their books signed but didn't hear any that were relevant to the plot of WoT.
