It is unlikely Southwest would use the same flight number but with a scheduled change of plane at STL, so yes, expect there to be some thru-passengers from MSP. MSP-STL-Orlando might see lots of thru-passengers. I'm guessing MSP-STL-LIT won't have too many. 
If you're really worried about whether you're going to be 50th or 70th to board, Southwest isn't for you.

Last year, I was a through passenger on a PVD-MCO-PHX (yes it stopped at MCO) and moved to the exit row for MCO-PHX.

Awwww, geeez, why'd you go and do that? Someone who boarded at MCO probably was mad to find you there in his favorite seat and then started a thread here about how EBCI (or BS) is a ripoff.
