Everyone is reporting that 3.2U is the firmware to have as it's the most compatible with all the games. I've backed up all of my original games via the Wii's wifi (it took about 3-4 hours for single layer games and almost 8 hours for a dual layer game [Mario Galaxy]). After you backup your originals, you can play those instead and put the original DVDs away.
Yes, you'll be able to do all of that.
