I have an  older bitcoin wallet. I recently ran a new bitcoin-qt, fully updated the blocks then replaced the stock wallet with my old one. The old one has not update though. Since I  had saved the old one I had a few payment of bitcoins to the wallet. Will the wallet eventually show the new payments that had happened?

If you back up your wallet on a usb stick and then restore it on another computer running the litecoin client, does the receive adress also come along. For instance, If some one would send money to an original address of the wallet, would it show up the new computer running the restored wallet?

A wallet is software used to access the block chain. It does not contain any coins. It just holds your keys. You can use the same keys on as many different computers as you want (just like you can make copies of your car's key and put them in any pocket you want), but you shouldn't because that might confuse you and result in lost coins.

Yes okay, but does the new client receive the new keys? So if I give out my address, then back up my wallet and load it on a new computer, does this new computer receive the keys when someone sends coins to the old address?

The terminology can be confusing. "bitcoin address" and "public key" are the same thing. The wallet contains your keys, both public/address and private, so when you load it on a new computer you are copying the keys and addresses to the wallet on the new computer.

Okay but I transferred my lite coin wallet to a new computer, and when I loaded it up on the new computer there was no address associated with it. When Someone sent coins to the original address it showed up on the original litecoin client, but not the one running on the new computer.

I swear this mining litecoins thing is a myth! I've only gotten one program really working (guiminer scypt) and it does it rather slow for my particular card.

Try these settings:  shaders 1280, intensity 17, worksize 256, g 1, lookup-gap 2, thread-concurrency 14208, gpu-engine 970, gpu-memclock 1450

I can't even get cgminer going anymore. It just says starting cgminer for a while, flashes some text and instantly closes.

Just from looking at a quick glance, it looks like it's your intensity. Try cranking it up to 17 or more if its stable
it falls apart above 12

I have two 7870's, and I can't get them past 300 kHash mining litecoin.
using a guiminer script, with  -Thread concurrency 8192  -worksize 256  -Vect 1 -intensity 12  -gputhread 1  , I get around 290khs.

Using cgminer With settings of
"
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
SET GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

cgminer --scrypt -o pool:port-u user -p password
--shaders 1280 --intensity 13 --worksize 256 -g 1 --lg 2 -thread-concurrency 8192"

 I get about 40. I have tried changing the various values, but nothing seems works..
