Yes but your other computer on the LAN is connected to the network so it'll see you already spent your coins.

If disconnect both, in order to get a longer blockchain, you'll have to generate blocks; good luck with that.

BTC difficulty is currently 19,339,258.

You'd need to have 51% of the hashing power, hence why it's called the 51% attack.

You kinda left that step out.

You're right - don't turn on the slave system until you've disconnected the internet.  The client will sync with your main system.  (just add connect=192.168.x.x to the config)

EDIT:  51% attack implies 51% of the hashing power.  Sorry for not making this even more brainless.
