I'll try to answer your questions based on my previous experience:
* I think it depends in which country you live^^. So, in the EU I would expect the shipping times to be between 2 and 4 days (I would expect my parcel to be here by the weekend). If you are in the United States, then the shipping times could be longer - when I send a parcel to my friends it usually takes a week and more (also don't forget the customs!)
* I wouldn't expect to get a tracking number - at least I dont recall that people got a tracking number for the Dragon Commander (but don't quote me on this!)
* Yes, you will have to wait until the 30th. The game from the disc needs to be updated from Steam and this update will be avalaible only on the 30th.
