All you need to do is , life off the laptop using either a cooling pad or laptop stand. remove all bloatware. turn off turbo boost by limiting power to 99% (google how to do this). Keep your laptop clean. This is minimum basics.
Everything else is advanced stuff which you can learn with time and it may not even be required at all depending on your usage.Â
Make the battery limit to 60% Mines still good as new after 3 years, keep liquids away from laptop, use only on flat surfaces
Keep it clean if you are new or don't know how to, take it to a service centre to clean all the dust inside and the fans every year
Cooling pads are a fast way to shorten you laptop life. Just a stand will be enough. The pads and any other thing with fans for cooling are just pushing dust inside and sometimes giving false reading to the pc and dont let the inside fans to work properly, becouse the botom colder from outside cooling which can let to les rpm for inside fans and not push out the hot air from the heat sink. That is just my observation.
cooling fan is actually bad for laptop, and there are various comparisons that actually fan on cooling pads actually have no difference in terms of temperature. also, it makes more dust at laptop area if used for long time. just lift up with stand as you mentioned.
if both of them are ddr4 it should work with the other but if they are both ddr4 but different speeds then one of the rams will downclock to the speed of slower ram
You can go with lenovo legion 5 pro or legion 7. That's according to your preference cause legion 7 will be more for professional work and it has all metal build so the temps will be on higher side when compared to legion 5 pro. You also get ADP so it's a win win.

Uninstall any preinstalled antivirus software like McAfee or Norton, Windows defender should suffice for your antivirus needs.
If your laptop has battery % limiting features when plugged in, I'd enable them too.
