I am such a Narnia fangirl. Some people love the Lord of the Rings like burning, but those books never made feel wonder and power like the Narnia Chronicles does. So I'm happy to see the trailer.
That said, I can understand your reservations. I am still rather ambivalanet to the changes they made in Prince Caspian, much like you. But I wound up liking it, even though I was still rather "Er, where did this come from? O.o" over many scenes.
I think the glowing white girl is supposed to the star's daughter, but I don't mind her having a larger presence, just as I didn't mind Arwen having a larger presence. My impression was from the trailer that in place of war, they're discovering. But I do agree that seeing Peter and Susan again is concerning. And I wish the trailer had shown more Eustace. I do so love Eustace Scrubb. XD
In many ways, seeing these books made film is going to lead to disappointment, but they're still better adaptations than many others, so I'm just happy to see them brought to life.
