Are the attachments [blades etc] on these tools interchangeable between

Well ... my only experience with one is with a Rigid brand, so I
don't know what else fits the oscillating head.

But one of the blades with the kit was quite useful in cutting
into drywall for running additional wiring, as well as for cutting the
outlet holes in the drywall.

But -- there are several other heads for it which are quite
useful, too.

For the non pro occasional user is the HF worth the money or should one
pony up more for a name brand?

I don't know. How much less expensive is the HF one? For what
it is worth, I got mine at Home Depot during a pre-Christmas sale. I
like the lithium batteries, and the much faster charging for those
batteries than the older NiCad batteries. And, there is a pretty good
warranty for the batteries along with the tool.

Enjoy,
