It's the OEM version but the same in specs as the Blackmagic (unless the
retail has TV outs, which I don't think it does)...since the Blackmagic is
for the most part a reference card, the performance will be very similar to
the Diamond card (they almost all use the same reference design anyway -
the real difference is in driver support...)

I'm no tech, but I know others that have done this successfully....so yes,
it should work.

Without a doubt, yes.  Although I wouldn't buy it from GW unless in a new
system - this way you're covered under the 3 year warrantee, rather than a
1 year add-on sales warrantee...
