I got my touchscreen on eBay for about $165 shipped. The seller was MP3Car.com. I see some users had to spend more money, but if you don't win a auction, just try again.
Mine is a 8" Innovatek TFT Color touchscreen TM-868 with a native res of 640x480. Screen Fonts only look on these TFT monitors at their native resolution. The desktop and graphics all look good at any supported resolution. Since TB lets you view .pdf, web, and other documents, being albe to read text is important. I would get one with a 600x800 native resolution if I did it again.

I answered this over on the 1C forums I think. Unless this is a different question? Here's what I said there:
It's the same mouse. This just lets it leave the main monitor and also move over to the other monitor. I do have TrackIR so, I don't know what it's like to do it your way. You can download the software and hookup your second monitor (you'll need a second video output: on your current card, or a second card). Then give it a test.
Personally, I would buy TrackIR before a touchscreen though... I don't know of any users who use TB, but don't have a TrackIR, so I can't ask anybody. But when you 'touch' the touchsreen, the mouse doesn't 'move', it 'jumps' the mouse to where you touched. So it may not move your view. However, when you move the cursor back to the screen, I suppose it would move your view.
