Is it safe to use/purchase off silk road while i have chrome/ff/ie open on the same computer/home network?

yes, all other browsers are fine to be open at the same time. the only thing i can think of that that compromises the tor browser security is if you are downloading torrents at the same time

Great. Thanks.

Using Tor while accessing the clearnet through another browser is a bad idea, especially if it involves logging in to email, facebook ... .

The danger is mostly human error, not really a technical flaw of the system or something. If you forget what browser you're currently in and accidentally log in to a social network site... well... that's bad, basically.

yes, correct. i was thinking of software running at the same time as tor, not doing stuff in a tor browser.

Really? Wish I knew that earlier...
Is it safe to be downloading torrents and running TOR while connected to a VPN before hand?

You can d/l torrents at the same time, just don't download them *through* Tor :)
