Yes, it is worth the upgrade to either.
A R9 290 is much better upgrade as long your PSU is a good quality unit.
A GTX 770 is one tier below so the R9 290 will give you more performance.

R9 290 is faster then a GTX770, lot more video memory too.

Depends on what screen resolution you are using, the game, graphics settings, and the rest of your system.

The 770 and the 290 are not equal cards. The 770 is on the same level as the 280x and the 290 is on the same level as the gtx780. So between the 770 and the 290, the 290 is a higher end card.

Hmm, R9-290 will leave you in a pretty good position over the next few years. It will run anything at 1920x1080 quite well.
