Oh sorry Micky,

To answer your first question Yes. Mining Scrypt is cheaper right now because the ASICs are cheaper and more importantly ready to be shipped right now. You'll want to use a MultiPool and have it Auto Convert until you can build up a good hash rate though. Getting fractions of coins and exchanging them yourself, although may gain you more BTC, simply takes too long to do and the fees for doing so gets you. At least that's been my experience.
