I can't answer your first question cause I don't know you. But yes, that's a Ford solenoid. I use them on my vehicles to help prevent heatsoak when running headers. It also makes dealing with the starter easier cause you get the wire connections up where you can reach them.

Regarding the fusible links, I buy them in bulk (10') at Napa for the same price as a single link with a crimped on ring connector.
