Here's what I would do:

1.) Yes, put in a router. Take that load off of the SBS.
2.)
a. Migrate from the old SBS2K to the new SBS2K3. Just like Bob said,
you can only have 1 SBS per domain.
b. After you migrate from the old SBS to the new, I suggest recycling
the old server. Load Server Standard, or Web Edition, or even deploy it
as a workstation w/ XPP. Perhaps you could use a Terminal Server on
your network. If that's the case, you can load Standard Server onto it,
and get some TS CALs. However, your boss and the people in your office
all get their very own "Terminal Servers" in essence, because w/ SBS2K3
you have Remote Web Workplace (RWW), which is a very slick and simple
and secure way to allow any users to get into their computer using
Remote Desktop (but it must be accessed via the RWW website on your
server. So a TS would probably only be useful if you have permanent
off-site workers.
Whatever you do w/ your old SBS2K, just remember that it can't co-exist
in the same domain w/ your newer SBS.
3.) After you migrate from the old SBS to the new, then set your member
servers up. You join them to the domain by running
http://sbsservername/connectcomputer. According to Microsoft, that is
even the right way to join a server to an SBS2K3 network.
You can then make your Server 2003 Standard box a file server & promote
it to a DC to help out w/ authentication.
