No idea about your first post, but you'll want to keep a vita memory card if it's an original phat model in case something gets messed up somehow and you have to re-hack your Vita . The slim models have built in memory I think and you can get by without one.

So, from what I can gather, you sucessfully migrated to SD2Vita as your primary storage (ux0). I think you maybe forgot to copy the data from your original storage to the sd2vita.

So either install Vitashell again or copy all content from your old memory card (or internal memory, whichever you installed vitashell to) to the sd2vita first.
Since you're using either Storage-mgr or another plugin to mount your sd2vita as ux0, you'll need to disable this first. Without access to vitashell you'll need to hold the L Button on boot or when loading h-encore (chose whchever method you hacked your Vita with) to launch without loading your henkaku config. Enter Vitashell and copy everything from ux0 (which is now again your old storage) to your PC via FTP or USB and copy it onto the SD of your SD2Vita.

If you are on firmware 3.60 or 3.65 with enso then you do not need the official memory card.
If you're above 3.65 and have a vita 1000 then you will need an official vita mem card to allow you to launch h-encore. If you have a vita 2000 or pstv above 3.65 you can use the internal 1GB 'memory card' as the location to install h-encore, so you wont need an actual vita mem card.

With enso the exploit is loaded at boot so you're fine. Without enso you need h-encore installed on official storage that is available prior to you activating the exploit each boot.

The 64K clusters formatting prevents the vita from incorrectly reporting the amount of free space for those who run a 200GB microsD or larger.

I'd recommend keeping the memory card. A Vita 1000 does not have any internal storage so if you ever decide to remove the hack to reinstall or whatever, you'll need a memory card to hack it again.

A Vita 2000 and a PSTV have 1Gb of internal storage that can be used to hack the device on firmware versions 3.60, 3.65 and 3.68 - these can always be hacked without a memory card.

But even if it's not necessary: selling it won't bring in much money and you can always use the card as additional storage for PSX/PSP titles to be used with Adrenaline or ROM storage for Retroarch. Basically, it's another 16Gb to be used for content.

But basically:

Got a Vita 2000 or PSTV? - You can sell it if you want (i.e. it's not needed for hacking)

Got a Vita 1000 with Enso? - You can sell it, but if the hack ever gets lost you'll need to repurchase a memory card

Got a Vita 1000 without Enso? - You can't sell it, it's required to run h-encore.
