http://www.tombraiderchronicles.com/tomb-raider/achievements-and-trophies.html

I have got the Normal version of Tomb Raider , Can I Upgrade it to the Tomb Raider: Survival Edition?

The steam store doesn't have that the option to upgrade your version, so you can't.
There's a small possibility that steam can help you by refound you and then you can get the Survival Edition contact the steam support here -> https://support.steampowered.com/

I just got the game, when I will recive the bonus from pre-order?

Lara Croft and Guardian of the light should instantly unlock on your library as Tomb Raider should
NOTE : Both the extra copy or your own copia from the guardian of the light doesn't contain the DLCs.
The DLCs from Tomb Raider will unlocks soon the game is out.

When can I pre-load the game?

Normaly Steam allow us to pre-load games from a week early to 2 days before the release.

Is Tomb Raider a Steamworks title?

“Yes, Tomb Raider uses Steamworks for achievements, Steam Cloud save games, multiplayer match making, as well as leaderboards.”

Will Tomb Raider support Steam offline mode?

“Yes, the game will definitely run in offline mode. However, you will obviously not be able to participate in multiplayer games in this mode.”

If I purchase a boxed copy of Tomb Raider, does that mean I’ll still be able to play it using Steam?

“Every copy of Tomb Raider will integrate with Steam and use the Steamworks features; it does not matter where you bought it.”

Will the game require the disc to be in the computer or is it able to directly download from Steam?

“Yes, when you buy the game in a store you will get a CD-Key for Steam. Just entering this code on your Steam account will allow you to download the game, so you do not necessarily need the disk. The disk is just there so you do not have to download all that data.”

Will there be any DRM?

“We do not believe in strong anti-consumer DRM methods, so apart from the game using Steamworks and it having to be authenticated with your Steam account there is no additional DRM.”

Does the game support 120 hertz?

“On hardware that supports this it certainly will. We do not restrict what refresh rate or frame-rate the game will run at, it will run at whatever frame-rate and refresh rate your hardware will be capable of performance wise.”
PERSONAL NOTE: Nomaly 120Hz means 3D (3D vision for Nvidia and 3DHD for AMD), so this is a confirmation that the PC version will support 3D

What are your plans for widescreen in Tomb Raider?

“We support AMD Eyefinity as well as NVIDIA Surround to allow you to connect multiple screens and create very wide displays.”

I got the game from another source, Will I still get the pre-order bonus?

Normaly they will only give out keys when the game is out and you can only activate keys soon the game is out so take it as a no.

How can I access the Pre-Order HUB / Scavanger Hunt ?

The only way is send the Steam recipe to them via email and it's only avaiable on North America
