Yes, I'd go that route. Or you
can run component + optical from the cable box (if supported) to the TV, and use the HDMI for DVD-to-TV.

Eventually maybe. But if you want to avoid the wait and $$$ of an HD-DVD/Blu-Ray player (and the risk of ending up with the wrong format ala Betamax), all you need for now is a decent upscaling DVD player. I have been enjoying DVDs in 1080i for over a year now, and I paid under $250. These days you can get up-scaling DVD players with HDMI connectivity for under $100.
This is the one I picked up, and have been very pleased:

I see know they have a new flagship model that up-converts to 1080p and has more connectivity options for not much more:
