I guess they call it a Nine Flow cuzza the 29" wheels, not the 8-speed cassette 
Looks like a nice rig for $600 MSRP, hopefully a little break for the 2012 model.

Then just ride the Mongoose!
Always keep your Felt bike locked with a New York Fahgettaboudit U-Lock, no matter where it's parked.
BTW
Nice Choice and Congratulations!

Road bikes do take some getting used to at first but they're so fast it's definitely worth it.

It's all part of getting used to the bike. It helps if you have a bike that'll fit 28 or 32mm tires if the roads are really gnarly. I ride gravel roads on a roadie with 28mm tires occasionally. Super fun.

You might want to look into getting some road slicks to replace your knobby tires with. That'll help your speed a bit.
Edit: whoops, didn't see you already had those on your walgoose. Swap the tires around and keep the goose as a beater for when you want to go off road or into bad neighborhoods or whatever.

The second question depends on the shop.
