You sure have a lot of questions about that new car... I'm not sure about the key, but I have heard you need to be careful because many will not work. And I believe I've heard that none will work unless the dealer activates it for you.

BTW: Welcome a-board!!!

You need to go to the dealer with your registration papers, they will order a new one, takes about 3-4 days, Yes you will get the smaller new kind for about $120. I had to get a new one about 5 months ago

When you say "...its starting to go bad!!" do you mean the battery is dying or is there something else wrong. I assume you know the battery can be replaced?

Yes it is possible to get the smaller Key from the Dealer as I have gotten it, actually Last week I had to get one for my 1998 C230, and it came back as the smaller one too.
