I have SP2.

I haven't installed a bunch of windows updates going back 2 years, nor have
I installed SP3 yet. (I know that July 13 is the deadline for SP3.) If I
install SP3, will it include those old updates I'm missing? If not, should I
install the old updates first and then SP3 or vice-versa?

If I should install all the old updates first, does chronological order
matter? If I install some newer updates first and later some older ones,
might I wipe out some corrections that the newer patches make?

Run MSUpdate and see what critical updates are offered, you may need to
repeat the process several times

SP3 first. (It already includes a lot of updates to SP2 up to the
release point of SP3).
Then, run Windows update (several times) until you have everything since
SP3.

Thanks, occam. Do you know when SP3 was released?

May 2008. Oh, and there's also a new invention you might find helpful:
Google.
