I sincerely doubt that the level cap is ever going to rise, as has been stated by ArenaNet many times - but a higher level cap isn't necessary to make future content worthwhile. Think of it this way: Chapter 1 is your training wheels. You get to level 20, you get yourself set up, etc. And then in future content, you no longer need to worry about not being high enough to group up with whoever, the challenge will come from the missions themselves, not the numbers the engine is rolling in the background.
As for new professions.. i'm pretty sure we'll be seeing some, but I have no idea what they are. I can field a few guesses based on overwhelming player demand and popularity, but really.. so long as I get an Assassin and neko mimi out of the expansion, i'm pretty much set for the rest of my natural Guild Wars career.
