 Do you lose access to any of my inventory which is non transfer.

All you lose is your old name.

You don't even totally lose your old name.  In a way, it belongs to you forever and you can always pay again to go back to it.

 

You lose nothing, though Friends that don't know about the name change might be a bit confused or find it difficult to find you if they have lots of Friends.  Your current name will no longer appear on their Friends list - instead you'll show up there with your new name.  

Depending on the merchant and what systems they use for things, if you have to contact one about a product issue, you might need to give them your old name for them to find you in their records.

As Fritigern and Lil said, nothing changes except your login name.  All the features that you asked about are referenced to your UUID (your key), which can never change.  As Lil, pointed out, some merchants who use older scripts may not recognize you at first, but most modern scripts try to identify you by your UUID; they don't care what your name is.

Your chat logs, however, although still saved, won't be in the same folder as your new name chat logs.  This is rather annoying.  Most things that change will be things in the computer files.  Teleport history,  some preference settings were gone.  Region tracking was cleared.  I'm sure it's possible to transfer some of that over to your new name file.  I just haven't bothered and just redid what I needed.
