Yes and Yes

No connectors, I'll be glanding off the cables at the bottom and wiring into the DIN rail mounted terminals

See drawing, yes, I'll probably include in the E/stop circuit the following; ultimate travel limits, machine mounted E/stop button, spindle motor over temperature sensor, AM882 alarms.
The homing limits are wired separately they are not in the E/stop circuit.

Yes, the earth terminals provide an easy way to tie all the screens down.

These may not be the ultimate cheapest but won't be far off, I was surprised how Farnell prices have improved lately for some items, or maybe it's others bumping theirs up ?
