lets start with your shopping list........ usually the vTx winds up being mounted on it's side, that said your gonna want the right angle connector one like this

on a diversity rx, if your gonna do it, do it right. When you run a bluebeam with a flat patch, be back to talk about that flat patch in a minute, you wind up with this constant switch back and forth between antennas. when it does that, it makes a flicker, totally sucks. The whole idea behind this is to not get flickers, anyways, if your gonna run diversity from a ground station without tracking, get a couple of these

put two of those side by side pointing off 45 degrees from each other and you'll have 90 degrees of field covered. Those antennas got like a 10-15 mile out in front, 2 miles to the side (unmoved) and a mile behind them again, (unmoved). The guy that makes this stuff has ran his like that since he figured em out
OK, RHCP vs flat patch. RHCP stand for right hand circular polarized. The flat patch you selected there is what's known as horizontal or vertical polarized. You want RHCP all around, esp. on 5.8. the two don't work well together and that flat patch won't just flicker through static, it'll just quit in the middle of a flight
question 1, good question. They definatley don't work as a team sending info to each other, but the interferrence thing is a good question
#2, yes it will.
With everything said here, you got everything to fly off into the sunset except a long range system. You'll be fine without it to get going, but to use what you bought, your somewhere between half way there and full blown fpv. for another $300 RMRC has the EZUHF kit, killer little system for the money, miles of range. The ezosd connects to it with a digital plug, shows rssi on both antennas if using a diversity rx, etc really clean EZ setup. Your futaba is gonna go somewhere between 2000 and 3000 feet comftorably. Those distances don't need a patch anything, wouldn't mess with a diversity vrx if wasn't getting the uhf part, the built in rx in the fatsharks and a skew planar on them would be more than enough
no uhf i'd get

The only other advice i can think of is if your an older guy, you might enjoy this better through a monitor. the goggles can be "weird" to some. I put mine in ski goggles and life got alot better (43 yo old guy) but the monitor i fly with is off the hook. they come in 15" to 22", can get without the dvd player, saves a few bucks. As long as a system is outputting static with a chance of coming back, mine has stayed out of black screening and shown everything so far.....
mine is this one

but they go down to like this
http://www.jr.com/category/video-tv/tv/flat-panel-led/n/4294346589/
with that you'd ditch the goggles and 5.8 module for them to get this instead ran off a uno or diversity rx.
the tv works pretty good in sun light, looks like this in use

that is immersion 5.8 diversity on cloverleaf and helical on a tracker
I don't own ezosd but alot of people ***** about the sattelite link up taking forever. The have a mod that uses a different sat chip with a battery so it remembers last location like change a battery, links right back up instead of waiting 2-3 minutes each time. Eagle tree OSD pro is instant
