M'lady, 

Your post poses many questions which will have a myriad of answers based
upon individual attention.  For myself, I offer the following personal
opinion on households in general:

Households are typically made up of like-minded individuals with similar
goals and interests within the SCA.  I would not recommend that anyone join
a household for at least year after joining the SCA as their scope of
experience is not broad enough.

As for badges, I can speak definitively on this subject.  You do not have to
be in a household or a member of the nobility to have a badge, nor do you
have to have a registered device.  All that is required to register a badge
is that you either have a registered name or register one with the badge.  I
believe you already have a registered name, correct?  Then, design a badge
which suits you and feel free to register it.  Or use one of the kingdom
badges which are available for use by the general populace...
