Will Elemental be the same price online as brick and mortar retail (excluding sales etc etc)? Will it be the same price today as the days following release?
Thanks!

The price won't be going up at release, most likelyl And retail stores usually offer similar prices because they really hate having to charge more then the digital retailers (the extra money is all profit for the digital distributors, especially since Stardock is both publisher and developer in this case).
So you can pick it up where you find it more convenient, though actually finding a PC game in my area is pretty hard given they have half the store devoted to a used game pawn shop. 
I'm actually concerned about it going down around release. Isn't that what happened to demigod around release? If it's gonna stay the same, I might as well just pre-order now.
Well, nobody can really predict that. If you're in the US, the price is a pretty standard one for games and likely to remain constant. But if you're concerned about it, I would hold off until release.
If you're not in the US, its subject to the currency market and who knows what will happen. 
(At some point after release there will be a sale price. For games, there always is. But that may very well take months before it happens. I ordered my copy months ago and have already paid, so I wasn't too worried about it.)
I don't think we have any plans to change the pricing at present, though retail may and usually does charge below MSRP.
