"Lost and Damned"

You no longer play as Niko Bellic, instead taking on the role of a biker gang member named Johnny Klebitz. Niko will make a few cameo appearances though.
This DOES sound like that old "think of GTA 4 expansions as if Vice City and San Andreas were expansions" nonsense from earlier in the year could be closer to the truth. A whole new character AND storyline are making this sound like a pretty substantial addition to the game.

While I doubt it will be the same size and scope of Vice City or San Andreas, I'm hoping for at least another 10-15 hours here.

Sweet. Yeah it does sound very cool. GTAIV was the game that really brought me into the franchise like no other and I'm definately looking forward to these episodes.

"Johnny is a very different character than Niko, with a very different background," says Dan Houser, vice president of creative development for Rockstar Games. "I can't go into too much detail on the story, because we try not to give away too much plot before the game is released. But I can say that the story will show you a different side of Liberty City."

Could be alright, depending on how much gameplay and how much it will cost.

This sounds pretty good.  If I can find a cheap copy of the 360 version I will be all over it.

Will you need the original game disc to download/run the expansion? I have a 360 now, but I already own the PS3 version of GTA4 and I really don't want to buy it twice.

You will need the disc.  The expansion takes place in the same city, so I'm sure they will be using assets on the disc instead of making you download all of Liberty City again.
