I'm flying into Heathrow on Sunday and staying at a hotel near
Paddington. Heathrow Express is a bit rich for my tastes, and Connect
only runs once an hour, so I might as well take the tube.

The obvious route is to change at Hammersmith from the Piccadilly to
the Circle or H&C line. My recollection is that the two stations are
across the street from each other, so you have to tap out and tap back
in. Is that considered part of the same trip, or a separate trip?

It counts as one trip provided you change between gatelines within 20
minutes. That should not be a problem.

There are lifts from platform to street at the Picc / District line
station. Exit towards the rear of your Picc Line train at Hammersmith
as there are two ticket halls at Hammersmith and the one to the rear
of eastbound trains is closer to the exit which takes you across the
H&C / Circle Line station.

Same thing at KXSP between Thameslink and LU, yes?

Yes (in reference to just one fare being charged).

True, though I don't know why people would change there rather than at
Farringdon, apart from the lack of step-free access at the latter.
