We always play almost identical to the two posters above. Turn order as follows:

Your 2 and 3 should be switched. You do your purchasing after you know whether you have entered Tokyo or not.

No, it doesn't change the outcome, it just stops the question from ever arising (plus all the other stuff I mentioned above).
