Yes, the ToB patches include all aspects of the SoA patches, with some changes for compatability.

I assume the cheats you refer to are the baldurdash ones, which are not supposed to work in ToB. Some will work with no problems, some wont. Its a matter of experimentation, and some educated guesses as to what will conflict. A new version of a weapon shouldnt cause any problems though.

The XP remover will kick in instantly. There is still a cap, but it is so high now that you almost certainly will not hit it.
