Yes.

Will installing the SSU affect my untouched vanilla boot from internal flash?
Yes, because the kernel will be updated. It should be compatible though.

What exactly gets changed by the SSU? The initfs?
Kernel + some userland packages. The initfs is a big can of worms as we don't have licence to modify & redistribute bits of it (not even linuxrc!) and patching it in place can be tricky as space is limited and a lot of people have modified theirs (eg by installing various versions of bootmenu).
