Mini-PC cards go into your laptop's mini PCI door, as you correctly pointed out.
PC Card (also known as PCMCIA) is something bigger that goes into special slot into your laptop, which you can take in/out.
PCI is completely different interface and doesn't apply to laptops.
If you already have internal (mini-PCI) card, there's little reason for you to get external one. They are not better or worse as far as their primary function goes. I'd prefer internal one because it doesn't stick out.
As far as memory goes, from what I can tell, either 2100 or 2700 should work for you, however usually chips have to be the same if there are more than one.

The wireless cards are all compatible -- it doesn't matter which one you get, in general. One probably fits inside your computer (nice for carrying it in the case) whereas another you will have to unplug and reconnect everytime you want to use/put the computer away. They both should work though. I personally use a USB Wireless adapter :]
