How difficult is BSc Economics?

Calculus.

...that's helpful.

Well each course is different. But as a minimum all economics course will incorporate Calculus, In Micro mostly. Macro will probably not have much maths, and econometrics will just be stats, I imagine more of just an applied nature, so you won't be doing proofs or anything rigorous from a statistical standpoint. The Maths is only really challenging at the top unis.

Compared to A level. You need to know a lot more models. In A level you could blag anything pretty much, at undegrad if you want to bring something in you're going to need to justify it pretty well. I found A level economics more expressive, at degree level it's more mechanical simply because you cant put wishy washy arguments down and little depth in the models. I left A level economics with 100% in most modules and coming back and reading my work made me cringe. A level really does just touch the surface of the subject.

I wouldn't worry, you have choices of module, apart from the core modules you can pick whatever you like, economic history, political economics..etc.

Better?

Much better. So the Math that is involved. What's that like, really long equation things? Do you incorporate Math into essays? Or will an exam be either Math questions or Essay questions?

You can get a 2.1 in economics by simply understand how each model works and explaining it, but there is a vast amount to cover, and a fair amount of depth. I would give you examples, but I can't be bothered plus it's different at every uni. Google 'economics lecture slides' and you'll probably find something.
