Pardon me, but I forget… If I renew my SD subscription early, am I selling myself short? Am I moving up the renewal date AND also not receiving my full year’s worth (in the currently paid year)?

Nope, you get a full year worth of subscription no matter when you re-subscribe. It just gets tacked on to the end of your current subscription.
