No, log into your account and click on Edit Account in the corner of the screen. Choose Manage Access Keys. Enter the Collector's Edition key there.

Alternatively, you could just use the key to make a new account.

Yes, it will give you everything - except for four more character slots, which is why some people opt just to make it separate.

The special edition doesnt have any other features from a normal account, the only things that make it "special" are the extras in the box (CD, art book, unlock card). The unlock card key can only be used once, but can be applied to any account, not neccessarily the one it came with.
If you want an in-game extra, you need teh Collectors Ed. which comes with the Divine Aura (shiney hands of doom).
