Stick with TortoiseHg as it has everything you need and can show all the files 
that are changed easily.
Yes when you make changes you 'push' them to BitBucket from either machine, and 
then 'pull' them from the other machine ... you can do that locally as well but 
BitBucket gives you a nice backup, and can then be considered the master copy. 
You can change the settings on TortoiseHg so that it always runs 'update' after 
a pull. The only reason you would not run it automatically is if you have some 
locally applied changes or want to inspect changes before actually using them.
