Also, there is no need for me to try to register at the French Social Security system for health care with a "Visteur" Carte Sejour...right? I would need to have a residence carte sejour I think...but isn't the Carte Sejour "Visiteur" a form of "residence"?

You have to apply for the carte de résident specifically, they won't just give it to you automatically.

If you need to know more about the specifics of it I'd recommend you contact your local prefecture and ask them about when you can apply for the carte de résident.
