None of the above.

HaRET is a low-level bootloader... it knocks WinMo entirely out of RAM and boots up Android like if it was a linux live CD.

so it's not yet ROM, but not exactly a program... more like ROM-like? ...and that's why it doesn't fully function and doesn't run smoothly? ...or is it because the Mogul is inferior hardware-wise to the G1?

so if I do install Android on my Mogul, it won't erase my WM installation or data and I can always get back to my WM?

It's not a ROM, you can consider Haret a bootloader. It will not replace WM, and to get back to WM you just need to soft reset your device (soft reset button, pull batt etc)

The lack of smoothness is because of the lack of drivers/optimization for the Mogul, Not necessarily a hardware deficiency. From what I've read the specs are fairly close.

Basically, you don't really have anything to lose from trying it. It's definitely not ready to run full time. But it's definitely worth a look. Barring an absolute catastrophe (or yourself running some risqué commands), you don't have to worry about anything.
