Hi shilotam,
I'm glad to hear the forum has been helpful! Let's try to provide some more help ;-)
1. You could wait a bit to see if promotions happen to become available. There aren't any now, you can check here for updates. But in any case I'd buy the pass online and print it at home as that's the most convenient way to obtain it. You'll find the Swiss railways webshop through www.swissrailways.com/ en. After filling out your address, they will show the delivery options. Pick "Online Ticket" from the bottom of the list. They will e-mail the pass within 1-3 business days (no delivery fees), so do take that timeframe into account. Other purchase options are listed here.
2. You can buy them online or once in Switzerland, whichever option you like most. Do make sure you don't buy for a fixed date as these trips are weather dependent. If you buy tickets via the webshop I just mentioned you will get flexible tickets, even though they ask for a date (that's just the first date you could use it). This particular website does sell Titlis tickets but no Jungfraujoch tickets.
3. In most cases, no. You would need to travel a lot to reach the break even point for two passes, even though Swiss Travel Pass holders do get a 25% discount on the Regional-Pass Bernese Oberland. I'd recommend to have a good look at the Swiss Travel Pass map to see what it covers (do zoom into the region!). You can even do the math to make sure.
