Correct, as spirits are spirits.

God is a spirit, correct? Yet, Jesus is the express image of His person, right?

Right.
While God and the Word were once one, I feel that the Word, (who would one day be Jesus), had the "physical" duties...appearing on behalf of God on occasion.

"What do you think God being "all in all" means?

I think it means that God and Jesus will be just as much 'one', as God and the Word once were 'one'.

1. How will this be different than what Jesus meant in John 10:30?

2. Why would "all" be limited to just the Word and the Father? Why wouldn't "all" mean "all"?

So, if God is a spirit, why isn't the Holy Spirit God?
Peter equated the Holy Ghost to God in Acts 5:4.

Also, the author of Hebrews equates Jesus with God, in Hebrews 3:3-4.
