Digital Camera Help needed for a Newbie!!

Hello all- I'm hoping that this isn't a repeat of a former thread, but that some of you can be of help for me on an upcoming trip.

I have purchased a fairly inexpensive, but very small digital camera for our trip to Paris/Provence this summer. It is a "wallet sized" one from Logitech which only cost $75. I plan to use it as a "backup" when I don't feel like carrying a regular 35mm camera.

However, I have not used "digital" before and have a couple of questions:
1) This partcular camera only "holds" 52 pix.
2) If I have access to an internet cafe in Paris, etc....can I SAFELY download pix from the camera into my AOL account, or might that provide a "worm-hole" for others in the same cafe to get into my AOL account?
3) Is it even possible to "temporarily" download pix in order to free up space in the camera, or am I stuck with only 52 shots during our trip?

Thanks in advance for your help and Best wishes!! Dave
