Anyone know if this GBA SP is going to have the exact same architecture as the GBA but with back lit and folding capabilites? Also, where is the ext port on these things? Will Flash carts work with it?

It will be exctly the same as a GBA, just backlit and with folding stuff and new design.
And yes, the carts will be possible to use.

any idea where the ext port is on this thing? the shoulder buttons look like they take up all of the real estate on the top.

The second port is for the charger and the sound output. Yes, you are going to buy a special cable to use headphones X_X

It looks like the GameCube cable will block physical access to this second port. So how will I be able to hear the personalized GBA audio that some GCN games provide? I'd figure a GBA link extension cable would work, but does anybody make one? A quick Google search didn't turn anything up.
