To patch a tire, you take the tire off the rim, apply the patch on the inside, seal it and remount the tire. The patch is bigger than the hole and will be pushed by the air pressure against the hole (outward). A plug is just wedged in there, being pushed outward by air pressure and inward by the road itself.

Higher pressure generally is not dangerous, as long as you stay well below the “maximum inflation pressure.” That number is listed on each sidewall, and is much higher than your “recommended tire pressure” of 33 psi, Gary. So, in your case, I'd recommend that you put 35 or 36 psi in the tires and just leave it there.

A plug goes into the hole of a tire and is intended to stop the air from leaking out of it. The plug is supposed to be a temporary fix, not something that is a permanent solution to repair the hole in your tire. While it is safe to drive with a plugged tire, it is only safe to do so for a short amount of time.
