1) Do I find the links on my phone browser and download them directly or do I download them to my PC first?
You can do either! If you download them to your PC, you can use Activesync Windows Mobile Device Center to draqg and drop the CAB down to the phone.

I don't think so...

The installed programs and downloaded CAB source should survive a soft reset. Hard resets usually clean things out to the initial state like when V sent the phone to you.
