Answer 1

Let's start by asking how you went about applying the update. Did you do any preparation like using Disk Utility to check your hard drive for problems, repairing permissions, etc? Did you continue to use your machine while the update was being applied? It is very important to make sure your system is in a stable state before applying any update.
Another source of headaches, especially for Safari, is that third party plugins often cause problems when a new version of Safari/WebKit are released. Do you have any such plugins installed? If so list them here and someone may be able to pick out the bad guy. The place to look for these critters is /Library/Internet Plug-Ins or ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins (the Library folder at the top of your hard drive and the Library folder in your user directory respectively). PithHelmet is one of the usual suspects as well as any of the Safari "enhancers" out there.
Unless your update went totally south you should be able to get Safari working again.
