    I don't think it actually blocks any vents, the RAM/WiFi slot doesn't usually have many vents as, though they do emit heat, they don't have a fan to ventilate air.

    That depends whether your cooler actually cover that area though...

    Assuming that it does, yes the cooler should help more, but then again you are blowing more dust to the inside...

    Yes but you are also blowing dust and particles there. As well, potentially you could send static there as well, but that's pretty rare.

    The black card is a piece of plastic Asus puts in to keep the electronics from contacting anything and shorting out. They commonly put it over the HDD, but reports from other users here indicate that they can be found elsewhere underneath.

    You probably don't want the RAM directly exposed to the outside elements, so I'd keep the card in place.
