Correct. Yes, you buy the app for $50, download and install it, it's small and does not come with any maps. When you open it there's a wizard that prompts you to download the maps that are available to you. Your version will be North America so you can pick and choose which ever states/provinces maps you wish to install. Navigon offers this to save space and only install what you need. If space is not any issue then select all maps. There is no extra charge since you already paid for the app...

The maps are downloaded locally, they do not require data once installed. Weather and traffic require data, maps do not

once you've paid off the subsidy for your phone, the carrier will charge you $50 and unlock your phone.

Backup is always recommended before any software update.
At the end of the day you shouldn't lose anything doing OTA updates going from iOS5 to iOS6

Apple always stops signing the previous firmwares when they release a new one so you're SOL

how do you update to IOS5 on iphone 4 without going to IOS6?
I suspect going to IOS6 would be too slow for the 4
