The bg wireless card in the laptop will connect to the draft-n router just fine (but it'll only run at the maximum speed of 802.11g).
As for whether the draft n router has a USB input, you'd need to check the specs of the model(s) you're looking at buying.

Yes. Wireless-N is backwards compatible with B and G cards. It just will not operate at the full speed of the N router (108 MBps).
As far as connecting the desktop to the router, that would depend on the individual model of the router. Some do, some don't.
