Is it alright to "yum update" or "yum upgrade" on the host OS? I ran it to see what would happen and it had mentioned newer kernels were available. Should I just exclude those in the conf (if so, where and how) or should I download and install them, but make sure that a VZ kernel is still the default in GRUB?

It does no harm to install new mainstream kernels if you are using OpenVZ; from the other side it makes no sense doing that.

To exclude kernel from the updates, you put something like

exclude=kernel,kernel-smp

to the [main] section of /etc/yum.conf file.
