Welcome back brother! So good to see you. My wife still has your wife's early mando armor. Your builds and costumes are always detailed and sweet. Man, it's been a while and look forward to seeing what you do next!
You are wise to ask questions before jumping in head first. Stay away from etsy and eBay for SW armor. Although it may be enticing, you will not get what you see. Most times the wares are a recast of someone else's work. In this case, it's not worth the risk. That is super over priced stuff and would never guide anyone in that direction. You should avoid them, completely.
If you have FB, look up WTF - Walt's Trooper Factory. He is a trusted member here and you can also contact him via PM (member name Rottie).
Hope this helps.

The magnet fits under the round "trigger" part. The part is hollow and hides it well. On the holster, I have a 1.5" x 2" strip of metal on the inside of the holster. It's pretty simple but effective.
I think you'll be fine and no worries about the tip. Honestly, I carry it in my hand more than in the holster. It's so...cute and small!
Really awesome Mardon. You might consider getting a free photo hosting account (like Photobucket). That way you can link as many pics as you want within your thread.

The 3M bolts are made of plastic, so you can trim it down to be more like a screw, than a squared/screw. Or, you can drill a hole and square it off, if you want to go that route. I'd just trim the 3M and hook it up. Something like this:
