Will I be able to buy a copy of the book at the event?

The book is being published in November, so there will be a discount for preordering, but you won't be leaving with a copy on the night of the reading. If you pre-order before or during the event, you will leave with a signed "The Dinner Party" book plate.

Is this appropriate for children?

The topic of the book is sex and sexual maturity. I don't think that the passage I'll be reading is too in depth on the subject, but it's probably best if you don't bring the kiddos.
