I have a question about lenses that are made for small sensor cameras DX vs FX sensor?
Basically, you can put any Nikon lens on your camera regardless if it's FX or not. But, you will lose autofocus capability unless it's rated as an AF-S lens.
NIkon's homepage outlines everything in a chart:

About your pictures being sharper, maybe...just slightly. Using FX lenses on a DX body uses more of the center portion of the lens glass which is brighter and sharper than the corners, widely known as "the sweet spot".
I wouldn't get FX lenses for this reason though. Get them incase you choose to move up to a full frame camera
