Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

It would depend on how much smoothing happened.

Some alt coins retarget every block, but use the last 100-200 blocks rather than just the last block.

Using everyblock would produce high diff flunctuations when big miners/pools go off/on that would not be good.
