Q1:
The difference is the size of the modules, for your X220 you'll want a 54mm expresscard.
Q3:
Your X220 supports Expresscard 2.0, as far as I know almost all usb3.0 expresscards are of the 2.0 standard.
These ones should work.

This is the one you posted above. I read in the comments that it is a little thicker than most other cards, so it can be a little harder to get out again.

A 54mm slot will accept either size, because as you can see in the picture of the
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0046XUMDW
adapter, the 54mm card narrows to 34mm at the express card connector, anyway.
If you have another $15 worth of stuff to buy at the same time, the 54mm card is cheaper... the GMYLE card is $12 with shipping.
Those $1.50 cards might look inviting, but if I bought them I would assume I was wasting $1.50 (it would cost more than that to ship them back if they're no good).

Cheap electronics *can* work out, too, of course... I have bought some $1 USB bluetooth adapters on amazon that work fine using microsoft's bluetooth stack, with every feature I've thrown at them (especially using my cell phone as a 3G modem, which some built-in bluetooth adapters wouldn't do).
