Will I be able to install and run these apps?
Yes, you will. the 32bit packages supplied allow you to run all 32-bit programs. Just install e.g. the 32-bit firefox and YaST will install the needed 32-bit packages.
If not, how do I force the openSUSE installation to allow me to install a 32bit OS? I only have 2G RAM, so no real need for 64bit.
64-bit might help even with smaller RAM - the CPU has extra registers that allow some speed up...
