When you order a new key/ remote will it come to you ready to go?

Every car has its unique key cuts that match the ignition, door, trunk, and glove box. Without the existing keys in their possession, there is no way any company can sell you a key already cut (unless you provide them with key code). What’s more, nearly all modern cars have keys and remotes that require programming and without the keys/ remotes being with the car there is no way this can happen unless you buy straight from the dealer- at upwards of 4 times the cost of a non-dealer unit.

Are brand new remotes significantly discounted?

NO - false. The reason you get a replacement at half the price is due to specialized companies that recycle used remotes and make them resellable to the public. A “refurbished” remote is the same electronics you would buy at the dealership but at significantly reduced cost. At the time of writing, there is no current technology that allows for keys to be refurbished so when finding a key at lesser prices than a dealer you are just getting a much better deal.
