Tara,
With Windows 7, Microsoft changed its naming a bit.
Windows 7 Home Premium is probably all you need.
The next step up is Windows 7 Professional, which give the ability to connect to a "domain". If that term is not familiar to you, then you don't need Win 7 professional.
Your new computer may come with Microsoft Office (including Word, Excel, etc.), or you can use the version you already have, if you have the installation CDs.
The biggest problem might be your embroidery software, but if it worked with Vista, it will probably work with Win 7. Possibly the company has a Win 7 upgrade for it?
