You have just written what could be a description of what SuperDuper does.
1) Yes, do NOT use one of the sandbox options. Just "copy all files" and for your first time, I would use "erase, then copy." After that first copy is created, then change your options to "smart backup all files" on subsequent runs.
2) Full copies/clones are automatically bootable in SuperDuper always. You need do nothing extra. (CAVEAT: the drive you are backing up to must be one which is capable of booting your particular Mac, and appropriately formatted/partitioned before use. These are not S/D issues, but general Mac ones.) SOME LaCie externals have problems booting. I would simply do as we have discussed here, then try it for bootability.
