1. If I buy a 'hardware' VPN router, is it more secure and better vs. SSH if I wish to have more

I wouldn't think it would be more secure. What it gives you is a solution that goes LAN to LAN with all protocols with practically no setup by you. Beyond the router, once you are into the LANs, you are, of course, on your own WRT security.
