Terminal Services needs to be a seperate system. You cannot run that on the SBS server itself.
You also need to get licences for TS, which are not covered by SBS.
For facing you will need to look at using another machine and software. All Virtual Machine technology suffers from the same problem of limited hardware support. Anything specialised will require the OS to be installed directly on the metal.
For backup, if you are using a virtual machine then you will need to switch to a network based backup, which means a third party tool will have to be used. I usually use Backup Assist.
Finally, as an aside, I do all of my SBS deployments in ESXi, rather than Microsoft's solution. I find it is much lighter, allowing me to put more resources towards the guests rather than what the host needs.

I think it you actually asked a question, per question, instead of grouping them all together it would be much easier to give you the information you require.
Like with the USB HDD. Okay you want to backup the servers. You want to backup the SBS08 box as well as the TS box. How are these going to be configured? Do you want to have it setup so it will backup as one job? Are you hoping to just use the built-in backup utility or you looking at using other software to do the backup. Are you going to be using mutliple rotating backups? How often and how much data are they going to be backing up.
By having specific questions it makes it so much easier to give you an idea of where to start.
