Rob, I don't understand "will back up the machine using Time Machine first" - are you using Time Machine in some unusual way? Mine is always up to date (within one hour).
Do as many upgrades as possible first, as sometimes the software will not run under Snow Leopard making it much more difficult to upgrade (e.g. "1 Password"). You may need to update some programmes after updating. Your questions 2. - the short answer is yes. When installing Snow Leopard it may help to install the Rosetta option, however, this is not essential, as if you try to run a program that needs Rosetta to run OSX will offer to install it on the fly for you (so why did I mention it???).
