First I got home from work friday afternoon, after some hiccups with logging in, I finally got on, made a character and started to play. I played non-stop for hours. It was a great time to relax/unwind. I played from like 8:30 until 4 am, where I literally could not keep my eyes open any longer. I passed out happily on my couch, slept until 10, had breakfast, then went back at it. I spent all day saturday doing the same, playing the game, tried out a Consular somewhere in between.
It was nothing short of a great experience, and a lot of fun. The only sour taste it left in my mouth was that I had to wait another damn month to actually play it and keep my char (I had done very well professionwsise, and got an awesome chest piece which people kept stopping and asking me about!).
Now, I'm a HUGE, GIANT, GARGANTUAN WoW fan, and I won't be going anywhere from WoW any time soon, but I'm excited to add SW:TOR into the mix in the near future!
I'm with the OP on that if you are able to grab a key and test it out DO IT! Now granted the game isn't for everyone, regardless it's still an amazing game on it's own rights and has a lot of room to go plenty of places.

Did you RSVP? Or did it just say you will be in at a future weekend?
SWTOR.com/Tester is the place to always check for any of your questions/concerns/doubts. Once you have RSVP'd for the weekend you can download the client, (might start Wed-thursday before testing) and it will be from that page.
As for the other question, no one really knows.
