Crank length is well the length of the crank. Can't say what is right for you without knowing your body specs. Obviously 2.5mm isn't a huge difference and whether or not you can feel the difference has been debated endlessly here.
Braze on front def has no band and mounts directly to a field brazed on to the frame. Other option is you can get an adapter clamp (often used on larger diameter seat tubes).
