Questions about Grandmastery (Patch)

I'm halfway through a game of BG2 (with ToB installed) and I feel like installing the Grandmastery Patch (PC is *drumroll*... a kensai!) but there is a number of things that bother me.

1. The Baldurdash site says:

None of these files (unless indicated) should be installed on top of the Throne Of Bhaal expansion! If you already have Throne Of Bhaal installed, do not install any of these tweaks or cheats. If you disregard this warning, your Baldur's Gate 2 installation could be damaged, requiring a complete reinstallation!

I obviously don't want to mess up my installation, so does anyone know if it's safe to use their version of the patch or not? Are their any other versions of the GM-patch around? (I'm not really interested in other mods/fixes, so I don't necessarily need whole fix-packs)

2. In this thread, somebody states that the latest official ToB-patch already addresses the most important nerf (the 1/2 attack per round) that screwed over Grandmastery, in which case I don't even really need to install the fix. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

3. Does installing a patch like this halfway through a bame affect my current game at all?

Thanks a lot,
Devilock

1) WeiDu Ease of Use incorporates true GM as well and they have no compability issues I think. You can install the options separately, so you don't need to install the whole bunch.
2) IIRC I never had three attacks from GM in ToB with whatever original patch. Not sure about that one.

I'll have a look at ease-of-use, thanks! Anybody else with an opinion or knowledge about issue #2?

Yes, it will affect the current game.
