Marriott/Ritz does not go by stays. If you are a MR member you will get credit for 3 nights, two paid and one on points. If you change your membership to Ritz, you get four nights (for the two paid nights) and one night for the points night; a total of of five.
If you are going to stay at Ritz on a regular basis, you should change your status from MR to Ritz.
As for points, at Ritz you only get points for your room rate. If you want breakfast, etc.; choose a room rate that includes those (if offered)
MHO, Ritz gives better upgrades to their own then to MR members
