What are the objects (looks like a punch and two nails) in the second and third to last photos?

Very cool.

The structures you asked about are stylets. They're attached to the eversible proboscis & used to inject toxins & digestive enzymes into prey.

Great photos. Do you have Nomarski, something similar, or using stacking?
