Okey-dokey....here goes 
1. SDOE has its own servers....so if you are online- start the game, hit the Network button- then "Internet", and then you will see a list of servers. California12 is the prominent server and usually you can find someone on at about 9 or 10 PM Pacific time. Saturday nights are pretty busy too though- so check then too.
SDOE also works pretty well with Kali....don't know about the rest 
2. Only if you try to fly a mission online with those planes and someone else has a different version of them....but they won't affect the other standard planes AFAIK.
3. No- those are the correct patches--unless you want to play with the beta patch-- but the LOD problem is I think dealing with the fact that again, AFAIK, the 110 is unfinished.
