The image does show a shock, but I ordered mine a long time ago from that place also. They will send you the correct strut for the front.
Correct, same here

Looks good, not doing uppers or tierods just yet? I did the same, but I ended up having to do the lowers control arms, new alignment hardware, hub bearings, and lower strut bolts which wasn't a terrible thing but very difficult. Hopefully you don't have the same problem with your strut bolt that started it all for me. But you're in Florida, so I doubt you'll have rust problems.

Don't forget about the "Heim Steering Upgrade" option for the tie rods

Moog only shows one part # for the control arm while I see other brands showing a part # for the front right and front left, how come?

Moog doesn't have one probably because the lower joint is replaceable with a moog one. The upper moog problem solver is the one you want for the upper.
