Looks like Synchysi covered your questions pretty well.
In regards to number 2 though, if you have already done some editing, adding patches gets a little... iffy. As he said "most" come with documentation, and even the ones that do come with documents, sometimes leave out fairly important details. For instance, was the patch made for a headered or un-headered rom is a big one (Yes, several patches out there leave you to guess). Be sure to keep track of what patches you have used, test them often while adding, always keep backups (not all patches come with an automatic removal), and as he said, compare the addresses in the patch's notes to what you've already done.
Good luck,
