Skip the GRUB menu and boot an OS right away?

Assuming you only wanted to boot with the first option and want to wipe everything else all you will need is

timeout 1
hiddenmenu
# and the minimum you actually need below
title Linux (on /dev/sda1)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 ro vga=normal

if I wat to boot the Puppy stuff is it then
timeout 1
hiddenmenu
title Puppy Linux 520 full install in sda1
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 pmedia=atahd

If you mean a copy of configuration files - yes. If you mean other files like documents you create - you can but it's more usual to use your home folder.
