BTW2 - if I want to connect a computer where the XBOX is located, do I just get a wireless adapter for the computer? And the computer and the XBOX would share the wireless access point?
Thanks for the help.

If you use WPA encryption over your wifi I wouldn't worry about simple script kiddie hackers. If someone really wanted to break your WPA encypted network then you are in for troubles much worse then stolen credit card numbers. The xbox 360 wireless adapter supports that mode of encryption if I recall correctly.
btw1: No, the wireless security password will only protect what is being sent over the air. Setting up a form of encryption over your local lan is too complicated and unnecessary for a home network.
btw2: Yes. More then 1 wireless device can connect to a wireless access point.
