The RS-20A should work just fine for the KPA100!

The RS-35A won't work any better, but it will give you a bit of added 
capacity in the event you want to run several radios at the same time.

>2. I noted in the spec sheet the KPA100 needs a 25 amp inline fuse, what is

The kit comes with a supplied in-line fuse connector and two (2) 20A fuses.
