You have to buy BoS first only if you intend to purchase via Steam (because Steam treats BoS as if it was a base game, with the other parts being DLCs, even though in reality, they aren't). If you intend to purchase directly from the publisher's shop, however (and play the game outside of Steam) , you can start with any part. The installer utility downloaded from their site will still say "BoS" in that case, but that's just semantics - it will activate only the part you actually bought.
Sys specs usually do not increase much (all parts run on the same gfx engine), but with constant development going on and new eyecandy features being implemented, some requirements increase is a fact. Nothing you can't cope with by tweaking options, though. It's still much better hardware-optimized product than DCS overall.
You've got all the rest more or less correct.
Mind you, as far as number of planes and maps are concerned, this new series offers only a tiny fraction of the "old" Il-2 content, so only some aspects of it can be considered an "update" of the old franchise. It's still a solid successor though.

Ya, but looking at the performance specs of that video card he has in that laptop compared to the minimum requirements for the game, I mean he would have to be playing on the lowest resolution possible, turn down all the graphics settings to their lowest, and maybe, just maybe be able to play a max of 4 friendlies vs 4 enemies high above the ground - and possibly not even that. :/
