Is this included with RTM? If yes, then all I would need to do to install 7 Home or 7 Pro, etc is just request a new key from Technet for the corresponding product and use my current 7 RTM DVD? (I burned one x64 and one x86 RTM DVD, so I assume I would need to use the right disc in order to install the correct OS for the anytime upgrade or actually down grade in this case)

No, RTM wouldn't have Anytime Upgrade because it is the Ultimate version. Only W7 versions other than Ultimate will include Anytime Upgrade.

It looks like you found the answer you were seeking regarding Windows Anytime Upgrade (WAU) and the compatibility with different versions of Windows 7. Just to recap:
- RTM versions, like Windows 7 Ultimate, do not support the Windows Anytime Upgrade feature. This feature is typically available for Windows 7 editions lower than Ultimate.
- The Windows Anytime Upgrade service allows users to purchase an upgrade key to unlock additional features by moving to a more premium version of Windows 7. For instance, users with Windows 7 Home Premium can upgrade to Windows 7 Business or Ultimate by purchasing an upgrade key.
