Old one was a legit at&t iPhone plan. I used my iPhone sim card in a cheap pay as you go phone for the past week until I got this iPhone.
Do I need to connect it to my computer to activate it? Or should it work with just putting in my sim card?

It should not.
If you use the online acct. manager, it will show it extended for a couple of days, then it will revert back to the original.
Sorry what is the online account manager? AT&T account page?
Im at the step in iTunes where it says: $20 a month and add the text message package you want. If I click continue will it extend my conctract 2 years, or just keep using my current contract?
Thank you.

Click continue.
It will at first say that you have a new longer contract, but after a couple days, will revert back to your old one. Just has to go through the system.
I had some cosmetic defect issues with my iPhone, so I exchanged it for a new one at my local Apple Store. They went in the back and brought me out a new phone on the spot, which I promptly inserted my SIM into and was able to make calls from instantly. As far as I recall....
The only think I can remember doing to it through iTunes when I got home was re-syncing and restoring my info from backup.
Strange.

They put your old SIM in and activate quickly at one of the genius bar computers.
