Over the course of tuning my car I closed the glovebox maybe 10 times and then the latch/lock mechanism simply fell to the floor. I need the latch mechanism - I think my lock will swap in, correct? Please someone parting out a car let me know.

Yes, you can swap your lock cylinder in to the new latch so your key will still work.

The latches are different for wood trim or no wood trim- which one do you need????

Same thing happened to me, turned out I just needed to screw in the handle a bit tighter from the inside of the glove box. I drove around for a month, looking for the "right price" for a new handle, etc. Then one day I decided to fiddle around with it, went out there tightened some screws, and it's been good ever since. I've used it more now after fixing than prior to.

I don't need the latch, but I am missing one of the clamps that lock the glovebox down. Where is the best place for me to get one? I'll start browsing for gloveboxes in junkyards I suppose.
