Jailbreaking and Unlocking are two separate things. First you jailbreak, and then, if you want, you unlock. Some programs will do both, like Redsn0w. If you use PWNage Tool or QuickPwn, you do them separate.

The Dev Team has directions for unlocking with ultrasn0w after you jailbreak with PWNage tool here, http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/1285...ltras-nowwhich which is what I suggest for a 3G (since I've heard redsn0w is buggy). If you want to JB a 3GS, you have to use the purplera program, http://purplera1n.com/. I'm waiting for an official Dev Team release (hopefully QuickPWN).

Yes, the apps from the apps store will still work and you can still buy new apps etc. You can still do all the things you normally could do, it just adds more functions.
