You need 2x 4gb DDR 667 or 800mhz to upgrade it to 8gb.

Ram is not storage. Ram is volatile memory, its wiped every time the computer is powered off. So no, you wont lose anything by replacing your ram.

Obviously, only replace the ram when the computer is off, and disconnected from the power.

No. It doesnt work that way.

Pen drives are much much much much much much much much (...) slower than Ram. Readyboost is a poor excuse for a ram upgrade.

DDR2 is not in production any more I dont think.
