Can I recover my username with my secret key so that I only need to backup my secret key?

You recover your wallet with your secret key, yes.  Think of it as your back up.

I just tried that but it seemed to require my username as well.  Are you sure the username isn't required in order to recover?

I don't think you'll be able to get your old username back.  You have to make a new one, if I remember correctly...

I'm trying to decide whether to store my XRP in Poloniex or RippleTrade.  I would rather keep it in Poloniex but I can imagine it's completely safe in RippleTrade since it's run by Ripple Labs.  I'm not clear on how XRP works but I know it's centralized to some degree.  Does that mean I'd be able to recover my XRP if it were stolen from Poloniex?

if i were you i would keep it on rippletrade if you want more security because you won't know when will an exchange will be hacked

Keep them in Ripple Trade and keep your secret key in a safe place.  Ripple Labs cannot have access or control your wallet.
