Yes, the cable is thinner, but the short run will be fine. Yes, they are push fit connectors, this is because the average customer doesn't understand screw fit.

The shrink wrapped thing is an attenuator, it is there as you have ordered broadband only rather than broadband + TV and so the signal isn't being split between multiple devices, they are anticipating the levels would otherwise be too high.
