The hardware is pretty much recent, but for instance, would win2k pick up on my latest nvidia drivers?

Win2k comes with 'standard' nvidia drivers (from late 1999), which will power your card to any resolution/colour depth it can do, without any problems. You can get new 'approved' drivers from Windows Update, which will be the latest nvidia drivers that were checked for problems by MS. Or you can download nvidia's latest own drivers from nvidia.com, they have them for Win2k, and they work just fine. Alternatively, your card manufacturer may have their own brand of those drivers, which are nvidia's reference driver with bits thrown in by the card maker to tweak specific aspects of their own cards. Check the manufacturer's website for details. In any case, your card will be supported just fine. I don't think your already installed drivers will be seamlessly transferred over from ME to 2k.
Hardware support for 2k is perfectly acceptable, it's 'odd and unusual' things that may not work. All of the software you mentioned should work without any hassle and without reinstalling the program.

PS: As an example, going to windowsupdate right now, 'Driver Updates' finds one object, "Nvidia Display Driver Version 2.9.4.2
