Most update patches dont actually change much of the game they just fix bugs and the like. You may even find you get some extras if you do choose to upgrade.

If you dont have counterstrike you cant patch it so dont download it. half life should update fine.

Anyways i though counterstrike came on the HL disk?

Steam is free its kinda like a setup for online multiplayer games, gives u a list of servers and the like. It also does the copy protection for some of valve's newer games like HL2. Steam can also be used to find updates to valves games and gives you a frontend to download other valve games.
