If our case has been transferred to the DOS, does that mean it has been transferred to NVC? It's a bit confusing..

[MalloryCat 211]

yes

the NVC is a section of the DOS

Is welcome letter sent to Petitioner or Respondent? Or both?

[MalloryCat 211]

the letter from the NVC will go to the beneficiary (foreign fiance), this letter has your new case number for the embassy

but either of you can contact the NVC to get your new case number, but you typically have to wait 30-45 days after its been sent to the NVC before contacting them

I don't recall my beneficiary ever getting anything during the process, other than her Thai passport returned to her with the new Visa page.  That was about 1 year ago

All notices came to me, the petitioner, either by mail or email.
