1) Is it possible to get the 5-card hell lodging without losing one's soul?
2) I bought a fate-locked story for Mr. Sacks. Do I need to spend the PTPT to complete the story or can I save them for next year? If I do, will I be replaying the first part of the storylet again (with its benefits)?

Decided to sell one for "science". Whoever "bought" it said "Excellent, I'm going to need a scalpel and pliers"

You won't lose your Salon or Orphanage. You can live wherever you choose and still run either.

Well fulfilling your promise to the Duchess costs 5 ptpt, and the spire emporium costs nine. If you help the Duchess before getting the lodging you'll only have 8 and very limited options for raising it. If you get the spire emporium first, though, you'll have four ptpt and can raise it to five with either a soul or the monocle. So as long as you get your upgrade first you should have enough to do both.

I've got PtPT 6 and 2 Pails. What should I be choosing to get the most interesting results? Do all the options cost 3 Taste?
No. The Long Box costs 5 PtPT: Lacre, and the five-card lodgings cost 9, 8, and 7 for the Spire-Emporium, Sanctum, and Suite respectively. The Remote lodgings all cost 3. The Noman costs 3 today, but rises in price through the month. Searching the Shore and Taking the Air each only consume a single point.
As for what is best, that depends on what you want. Good lodgings are nice to have. The Noman, I believe, unlocks some interesting storylets.

1) No, you'll have to sell your soul first, at least to get it from Penstock. You can get it the expensive way without losing your soul...
2) yes, you need to spend some PTPT to complete the Sacks investigation. Next year you can choose to work with another faction, or with the same. But you will have to pay Fate again.
EDIT: just for the record: if you don't have much PTPT, and want to spend it for something else, you do have the option to leave the Sacks-investigation open-ended. In this case your Fate isn't wasted, you can take up the investigation next Christmas exactly where you left it without having to pay again.

When you buy a new Remote Lodging or upgrade a 4-Card Lodging, you are leaving the Sundered Sea via a path you have discovered. If you listen to Penstock when you choose to go through the Wicket, he mentions that this is only the way down, but there are other ways back up. You are taking one of those ways, and leaving the Sundered Sea.
I don't believe actions beyond Lodgings-related ones remove you, though. At least, the faction-specific investigation doesn't.

You can sell them for 25 Identities Uncovered. Other than that, no use that I can see so far.
