You're going to need some kind of volume to put the install image on. That could hypothetically be a partition on your internal SSD, but it's probably worth just ordering a flash drive (something like this?) or type-C adapter.
No I don't think they are lying but placing an SSD in the optical bay is useless because you won't get the speed benefit without a SATA III connection.
If you do install an SSD, it should be in the regular hard drive bay. You can get a caddy for the stock hard drive for pretty cheap. I used this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058AH2US?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00
I would stick with 10.6.8 for now. If/when you do add the SSD, you'll notice how dramatic of a speed increase it is, and then you can make the decision of whether or not you should upgrade.
