Will copying the current pst file from an former computer to a new one
include the transfer of all mail account setup details or does another file
contain that information?

No - PST files don't include mail account info. If you don't have a
gazillion POP accounts, etc., just recreate the accounts. Also see

No, PST only has Contact/Mail/etc. content and newer version of Outlook
also stores rules in the PST file.
