Answers.Text: I have looked at "Moving an Existing Installation to a New Server or Location", but some steps need some clarification for me. For example: Step 4b(iii) states "If you are using a fresh install you need to make sure that the new version matches the version of your database.
  Check in your live database "SELECT version FROM civicrm_domain" or check this value in the SQL export file you are using to move the database". Are they talking about the version of CiviCRM here, or the CMS or SQL?I was looking for something that just explains what to do for Wordpress CMS.

Answers.Text: The query returns the installed version of CiviCRM. Beyond that, I'd suggest you try the migration and see what happens. You'll learn more from trying than from expecting a guide for your particular circumstances.
