How do I patch BG 2 + ToB correctly? How do I know which patch do I currently have?

I have several doubts now that I have reinstalled BG 2 + ToB after so many years:
1. I have several versions (3, to be more exact) of BG 2 and ToB which I have bought along the years, but the one I installed was one I bought just 3 years ago and had SoA in a single DVD and ToB in another single DVD. The thing is I have no idea if the games will be patched up to the last official patch or I will have to do it myself.
2. How do I know which version my game is currently patched to?
3. Which was the last official patch? Are there any unofficial patches that fix (only FIX) more things?
4. How do I correctly patch the games? (if they need pacthing). It is enough with installing ToB pacthes or do I also need the SoA patches?
Thank you very much

The last patch for ToB is patch 26498. There is an unofficial patch after this, but most people recommend NOT installing it, as it does weird things. Rely on mods to fix issues instead.
If you have both games installed, just applying ToB patch 26498 is enough. Both games will be patched.
I also recommend looking into some fixing-mods, such as BG2FixPack to smooth out the little problems that the official patches have not addressed.
