Why not download the PokerStars NJ client & take a look for yourself? Only you know what stakes & game types are of interest to you & overall traffic numbers aren't that useful.
If you're interested in trends & comparisons to other NJ sites
[1] You could put OPR in your rss feed to keep up with reliable info on NJ:
http://www.onlinepokerreport.com/ There are already a few articles on recent NJ traffic numbers you can read.
[2] You could monitor this for cash game traffic only for various sites. Here's PSNJ:

There's a lot of *IF* in there! You'll not get an official PokerStars answer on this given the variables involved [& other reasons]
My non-expert answer is this: The chances that NY will open up to PokerStars *AND* NJ at the same time is slim. So if you live in NY & PS goes live there it's likely to be another segregated pool in the early stages & thus I assume you'll need another PS acct. I doubt that it will be simple to agree a compact between the different gambling enforcement agencies & the tax people & Tom, Dick & Harry
If anyone knows better then please let me know - I'm entirely guessing above
