Depending on what the update is. If you want to be 100% certain,
reboot.
If you don't want to reboot, you can hunt

By default, package updates won't restart running programs. This is a
manual step.
glibc is special.
When glibc is updated it executes from %post

Yes and no. It mostly depends on what kind of package has been updated.
Some packages triggers restart of daemons, some does not. Generally

I have a fully operational SL 7 installation on my workstation that also

Out of curiosity, is the external drive you connected formatted as

Wins is now considered obsolete along with netbios even by Microsoft. In modern environments every thing should use DNS. XP was the last version of windows which shipped with netbios turned on by default and without netbios wins doesn't work either.
In the past I use to use a utility called mkcdrec which has a successor project
called relax and recover (rear for short) I haven't used the new version but it
should work well.
That said if you can package every thing in rpms you could use spacewalk or
katello to create identical builds
