I've been to Spa a couple of times, it's definitely a great place to see racing (best in the world for me, but I'm biased. I don't know how they will arrange ticketing for the 6h, but if you can I would also get a ticket that lets you walk around away from start-finish. Walking from the grandstands to Pouhon to Bruxelles and then back via the Kemmel straight and down again via Eau Rouge is great, especially at night. Again, I don't know how free you are to do this, with the historic races you can go wherever you want, I know with the F1 you're usually bound to either a grandstand or the back section, not and. I definitely suggest to try to go the the practise and/or qualifying sessions as well, less crowded, usually cheap and a great way to experience the track without the stress of having to see the race.
As far as payment goes, try to bring cash euros, not all restaurants and shops have CC machines (markedly less than in the US). You won't be able to buy a beer at the track with visa for example (you will with cash!).
Other things to visit: the track is in the Ardennes, which are nice. Brussels, Bruges and Antwerp are not far, same goes for the Nurburgring, Cologne, Luxemburg and even Paris is just a few hours away.
I may come out for the event too, by the way! And the Porsche Days at Spa are the weekend after.
edit: and drink some beer. You can visit Orval in the south and I think Rochefort too.
