Can we play on KR with this, or would we need to use TW if we don't have an ID?

So if you change the region, you can't go back to the original reason without manually switching back right?

Of course you can IF you WILL NOT overwrite original installation. Just select different installation path.
If you have trouble with switching back to your original region because of "authorised language pack" message jsut go to your Variables.txt file and erase localeidassets= and localeiddata= values (delete language strings after "=")

Variables.txt should be located somewhere here: "C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\StarCraft II\Variables.txt"

For some people works, for others don't. I have never bothered with it so can't say. I expect global patch for every game client soon(tm) anyway.

Can I choose an account so I can have both NA and EU from the 2 licenses I bought ? Would be neat to have a smurf in the process.

7. run your second copy of SC2 from desktop, wait for final patching and play

Currently whoever bought game twice does not have any extra benefits. If two licenses are bound to single account that's it. Poke Blizzard.

You can skip step 6, it is meant for those who have problems with automatic patch download. Besides, it seems Blizzard removed this help article and/or files.

Since you are no longer required to install 100% of the game to launch it you can try as soon as it becomes "playable".

I imagine that will be the case when they actually launch the feature. What's happening now seems to be a a side effect of Blizzard laying the groundwork for the feature. As far as I know, the feature itself is not actually live.

This is still to be announced change. I expect to have regional clients updated with option to switch regions as it was planned.

There is no official announcement so I would assume that blizzard is going to patch in some way to switch servers without having to download the client for every region !

Patience, I would not download every client yet.
