Hm, that could be nice! Your questions answered:
Definitely retail, give Apple the credit for the best OS around. Snow Leopard.
Your card is important. If it is a Quadro fx 3700 Great!
If it's a 370 not so great.
The best way to get things moving is to make a USB "EFI" fix dongle.
Let me know for sure on the graphics card (go into device manager).

Do you have access to a real Intel mac (laptop or desktop), so that you can install Snow Leopard to a USB hard drive. If you have, that is the first thing you need to do.

Yes, use your Mac mini to install OS X to a hard drive. When the Install is finished, don't reboot but swap the drive back into your hackintosh awaiting the USB dingle to be plugged in.
