I usually "export" my .pst file to my desktop, but I did in fact notice that
it was "last updated" today. What will scanpst.exe to? Will it find whatever
is keeping Outlook from staying open?

If you're using a PST to begin with, why export when you already have a PST?
Just make a copy of it while Outlook is closed. Exporting does not make a
one-for-one copy of an existing PST. Distributions Lists often fail to export
properly and you lose the connections between, say, contacts and the calendar.
Other metadata gets lost as well.
