Welcome to the 900 world ! If the oil is over to point where it has you concerned, change it. If the cars has sat as long as you have suggested, it should be changed anyway.
As far as the transmission goes... This could turn into an interesting debate amongst our fellow saabnetters. I'll leave at this: If you look for trouble on these cars, you'll find it. If the oil level in the gearbox is fine, I wouldn't mess with it. To answer your question by the way, it's usually 10w30.
As for your 3rd question: Look out for everything ! I don't mean to sound negative, but we're talking about 16 year old car. Best advice is, keep an eye on everything (fluid levels, color of exhaust, body condition, etc.) As you become familiar with the car, you'll soon understand what seems normal and what doesn't. Read the owner's manual too - good info in there.
Also, if you are the DIY type of person, invest 40 bucks and by the Bentley manual for these cars. It has all the technical stuff you need in order to do most repairs on your own.
Good Luck and have fun !
