'Optimus' is easier with a BIOS switch, but since you are using that odd optimus/switchable graphics setup its likely that its in 'switchable' mode (or something like that). Which would be pretty much the same as a BIOS setting.
BTW, unless you want to use optimus I wouldnt risk trying to install bumblebee. It could well break your current setup.

The intel video chip isnt going to help at all with videos. If you arent using VDPAU with the nVidia GPU, the intel video chip would be pretty much the same, just lower power consumption.

It is possible there would be minor differences in framerate, but it shouldnt make any real difference if the system is using optimus, or has been 'forced' into nVidia only mode.
