that site says t410 has a 8gbx2 upgrade, yet on other sites it says the max is 8 gb

And also, how do I know if my laptop has 2 sticks of 2gb, or one 4gb ram stick?

I guess I'll assume that website you posted got it it wrong, but I'm unsure if I should replace two 2gb sticks wit two 4 gb sticks or just add one of the supposed4gb sticks with a 4 gb ram stick, all go get the max 8 gb's

It's max of 8GB (don't use 1x8GB). 8GB max for the entire Arrandale generation (T410, X201, dual-core W510). The Sandy Bridge generation (--20) was the first to support 16GB+.

For determining the memory config, you can either unscrew the single screw on the bottom and open up the memory access hatch or use software like CPUz.

As the previous poster suggested download and install this software, what does it show?
