I have a BP in forms that writes data back to a SQL Database. It also captures who the task is originally assigned to. However, if a user decides to assign it to someone else, how do we capture that data? And how do we get it to email the original submitter that the task has been reassigned?

I am almost certain there is no way to attach any listeners to the built in re-assign event. It simply updates the action pane.
To do this right now, you would have to build your own re-assign element. It could consist of a drop down where they can select a user, and a re-assign action button added to their task. That would allow you to perform actions between the re-assign, including updating the assignee with workflow and returning to the user task. Even this requires a direct call to the Forms database though in order to retrieve the users list for the drop down.
I don't like using lookups to self-reference the forms database, since the schema could change. The expectation that forms knows who it's own users are is so common though, this is one I am starting to be OK with myself.
