Davey,

Exactly! In the key of E, the G would be a flatted third...the sharped nine (nine is the same as a two, the two being F#) would be F##, also notated as Fx. Welcome to the world of music theory, We can hold a Riverdance of angels on a pin.

Practically speaking, we wouldn't call it an Emajor/minor seventh...nor would we call it an E7addb10...these names are too redundant for music theory (and that's saying a LOT!) So, when we're told EEG#DG, we bow to the sound, rather than the spelling of the chord and: voila (which is the larger instrument in the voilin family) E7aug9.

BTW, Two names of the same note are called "enharmonic equivalents", according to traditional western theory.

P.S.
A nine isn't a two an octave higher, it's what you call a two when a three is present. If you have, for example, C D E G, That would be a Cadd9; if you have C D G, That would be a Csuspended2. The two suspends you from knowing whether it is a major or minor chord, with the nine you know it's major or minor, it just sounds thicker.
