Do you have to install the version of power kernel included in the file or can you stick with the latest (v46) version already available in the repos.
You can stick with v46. I've got the drivers patched and X shows my kernel to be version 2.6.10power46-wl1.

Do you have to install some sort of bootloader. I have used multiboot in the past and ended up having to reflash my N900.
No, installation is essentially automated through Debian package manager, requiring little more than four commands to be entered into XTerm.

Finally, can I still use the other features in v46 power kernel (usb host mode particularly)
As far as I know yes. You can unload the injection driver when not in use as well, should any issues arise.
