If you've ordered a new MBP 13", it will come with Lion pre-installed. As far as sharing applications between the mini and MBP that will depend on the license for each application. You mentioned MS Office 2011 - unless you purchased the 3 install Home and Student Edition, it can only be installed on one machine. It also requires activation.

Syncing data and applications between two machines running Lion is easy with Air Drop. Air Drop is only available in Lion not Snow Leopard.
