I doubt that this solves the problem with \Sexpr{}, but you can copy

ess-swv-run-in-R into your .emacs file , (possibly) rename it,  and edit 
the line

 	"local({..od <- getwd(); setwd(%S); %s(%S); setwd(..od) })"

to add whatever options you want. I use this strategy to force use of the 
weaver() driver:

        "local({..od <- getwd(); require(weaver);setwd(%S); %s(%S,driver=weaver()); setwd(..od) })"

which command I renamed 'ess-swv-run-weaver-in-R'. Then with

(defun ess-swv-weave-weaver ()
    "Run Sweave on the current .Rnw file."
    (interactive)
    (ess-swv-run-weaver-in-R "Sweave"))

(define-key noweb-minor-mode-map "\M-n\M-s" 'ess-swv-weave-weaver)

I can type M-n M-s and force use of the weaver driver

Huh?

You can now run LaTeX on 'oneLetter.tex'

\Sexpr{} inserts the result into the tex file with either the default 
options or syntax="SweaveSyntaxNoweb"

And I get a similar result when I open oneLetter.Rnw with emacs and type 
M-n s.

Does Sweave.sty really figure into this??
