If I can get an image in any size I want (for FREE), but only ONE size/format of each image, would it be wise of me to get it in the largest vector/scalable (eps) size? Wondering if it's an issue at all when converting to other formats or downsizing. Seems that I would be wise to get it in the largest size possible then downsize as needed (and change to whatever format is best: PNG, smaller jpg, etc.).
Is that correct?

This is correct for bitmap images. For them, you should always try to get the biggest version. You can always make it smaller, but you can't do the opposite if you start with a small sample.
But as Scott mentions in the comments, this is not a problem with vectors. Vectors are scalable regardless of their 'original' size, because they use paths (or strokes) which lead through locations called control points. What's important is the relationship between all of these elements, so size is not a problem.
