After hours of further review and testing, I think I answered my own questions:
1) Yes, you can store, encrypt, & decrypt credit card numbers, as long as you're PCI compliant. You can't store certain credit card security codes, etc, under any circumstances, however, because the PCI rules prohibit you from doing it. Storing permitted card information is probably not a good idea for most small businesses due to compliance costs, etc. 2) In the admin, when you change the Order Status for a particular order to shipped, an email notification to the purchaser will be sent as long as you've authorized sending them in your site settings.
