And...um...does that last question make sense?

You'll be buying vanilla NWN and it will be perfectly compatible with SOU. Installing SOU will bring you up to patch 1.30SOU. So you wont need to patch NWN before installing SOU and you wont need to patch after installing NWN and SOU unless 1.31 or later version have been released before you buy the game.
BIOWARE has released like 12 patches since the game came out, they are constantly improving the game and adding stuff. Patch 1.31 is in currently in BETA and will probably go official sooner than later.
A patch downloaded now won't interfere with online play later as long as both you and the server you play on have the same version. So if a new patch comes out and a server updates to that patch, you will have to update as well to play on that server.
Sound good?
edit for more info.
BTW I noticed your laptop thread in GD, Check NWN mininmum specs before you buy a laptop. NWN has fairly steep 3d requirements so you'll need a good videocard and plenty of RAM if your going to play it on your new machine.
