Yes SP3 is safe, its just a rollup of all the updates, nothing really new but the delivery.
If you have been updating or running autoupdate, then SP3 is not required. SP3 on a new install of XP saves quite a bit of
update time.

I would set your screen saver to require a password, that will keep it logged off.

Yep, just discovered that ;-)
