I'm afraid I can't offer any advice to your points 1) and 3), since I didn't study CompSci or a foundation year. However, as regards to point 2), it is great to mention any course-relevant activities you undertake outside your school curriculum - this shows passion for your subject and initiative in academic work in addition to your grades. For Oxford and Cambridge Universities, these activities are referred to as 'super-curriculars'. Their websites have useful suggestions for each subject, including CompSci.
Best of luck in your applications!
