Same price on steam. (I also do not think these version redeem on steam)

Why would they redeem on Steam?
It's a EA game.
EA uses Origin for their games.
If you want Steam on a EA game, you'd have to buy the EA game through Steam.

No!!!
EA uses Origin for their games, NOT Steam.
If you want a EA game on Steam for ALL of the Steam perks [hour tracking, Steam back-up utility, Steam Friends list, Steam screen-shot taking, Steam auto-updates, etc etc], just buy it through Steam... as long as that EA game is actually being sold through Steam, of course.
The reason you read about EA account for Dead Space 2 is b/c you will have to have an EA Account to par-take in the Multiplayer portion of the game.
EDIT:
You can Add Any Non-Steam Version of any game through Steam, but you'll only get a FEW of the Steam benefits - namely, screenshot-taking and seeing your Steam Friends List.
You won't get the hour-tracking and your game auto-updates via Steam, so you'd have to get your patches for Non-Steam games from elsewhere.

How do you get game patches for digital games purchased through Amazon?

That depends on the game, the dev's, the publishers, and other things.
Often, you'd go to the game's actual website and go download it from there somewhere.
You'd have to make sure the patch you download is for YOUR DOWNLOADABLE version of the game.
Many other places like FileFront are places where you can go get patches.
Again, make sure you DL the patch version that goes w/ your version of the game.
If the game has an auto-patcher built into it like say BF: BC2 does, you just boot the game...and it does it all for you.
