I do not know the answer to your first 2 questions, although I strongly suspect, from my own experience with IWD/HoW/TotLM, that: 1.) there will be no negative impact to your saves; and 2.) There will be no appreciable impact to your IWD/HoW gaming experience, with the exception that the game should have a few bugs fixed.

For your third question: Assuming you want to maximize your party's XP and the goodies they can take, you want to decline an offer you will get to travel to the S__ of M_____ I__. (Once you accept that offer, you never again get to see Lonelywood.) Return to Lonelywood, save game, and poke around a bit, saving often, until you have AT LEAST one (I had two) encounters, one of which is very interesting, very profitable (if you make the right choices) or very entertaining (if you don't make the right choices) : Try it both ways. Once you're satisfied that you've squeezed Lonelywood for everything it has to offer, talk to Stubbletoes and accept his invite to begin TotLM. After finishing TotLM, return to the point in HoW where you earlier declined the travel. Accept the offer to continue on to the late game of HoW.
