I don't think it really matters. I read them out of order (whichever one I found in the bookstore was the next one I read) and the stories were easy enough to follow. Electra Heart left out The Silver Chair from their chronological list; it's #6, followed by #7 The Last Battle, if you decide to go that way.
For your other question re: Game of Thrones, I say give it a shot. I really liked the series, though it does get a bit graphic at times (I wasn't bothered by this, but I know some people are). If you like epic fantasy like The Lord of the Rings or The Wheel of Time, I'd say go for it, although GoT definitely has a more adult feeling to it than either of those.
