The cpuid program should be able to tell you if you have a 32 bit

am not sure if you can/should run a 64 bit kernel while using
Debian's i386 arch.
No, you need to use a complete 64bit userland for using amd64,
translation: You have to reinstall your machine.
In any case, the the k7 kernel will be better than the 486.
And, when I am ready to upgrade, do I just run an apt-get install
linux-image-2.6.22-2-*?
Yes, but you may want to install the k7 meta-package, which
always depends on a recent k7 kernel, so you don't have to
manually update your kernel image. Just install linux-image-k7
and it will do the rest.
Well, if you have modules compiled against your actual kernel and in a
full-upgrade magically upgrades your kernel you're gonna live a
nightmare next time you reboot your machine. But if you don't build
specific modules to your kernel then go ahead :-).
