1. There must be some kind of requirement for companies to keep this information, right? IP information from the web page or whatever.

They might keep it for a month, they might not...anyone carding on a website will probably use a disposable account. There is the chance the thief is stupid, though. Different companies will do different things with logs. Figure that thirty days is a good guess.
2. Which LEO agency covers this type of thing?

Both the FBI and Secret Service would have reason to investigate the Tiger Direct transaction.
3. I want these f'ers fried, how would you do it?

Document all conversations with your bank, document when all fraudulent transactions occurred. Make sure you read this: [url]http://www.ustreas.gov/usss/faq.htm#identity[/url]
Local law enforcement and the FTC should get the ball rolling with the relevant agencies.
I very rarely use this card, actually I think its been about 4 months since I used this card, where the heck did they get it from? The only reason I even have this account is to cash my paycheck every week, and make my other CC payment via check.

Take the part of the SS FAQ where it says contact all three credit agencies to heart. It is possible that your bank card was acquired by getting information from your credit report and using that to get info about the card from your bank.
If you -rarely- use that card, and always practice good hygiene with the receipts, statements, mailings, etc., it is possible you have been more fully compromised. Get a copy of your credit report, contact the issuers of all your credit cards to find out if anyone has been added to your account, and be prepared to 'start over' with new cards if necessary.
Take action and start a paper trail -now-.
