What are this "things" for ?

Missile warning sensors. Looks like this photo is from one of Kamov's birds, not the VVS birds. It could also be the LWR, but I think you can get away with smaller sensors for that. IIRC.

Definitely an MWS. Has an optical sensor that looks for heat/light signatures consistent with a missile. Looks nearly identical to the one's that we have on the MC-12.

Maybe. The VVS, AFAIK, has the helicopter we see in game.

 

Kamov has their own helicopters that they keep modifying and trying to sell. The 'Alligator' is a Ka-52, and having a twin rotor is about the only thing it has in common with the Ka-50 ;)

I've been thinking... Ka-50 being an 80's project... Were there any modifications to increase composite materials percentage in the total airframe mass (and or reliability)?

Kamov did a lot of modifications - especially to their own models. No idea what, if anything, the VVS did. The Ka-50 in game is one of the helis as presented at that time.

As a minor note as well - it's extremely dangerous to draw conclusions about the Ka-50 as it is in service based on Kamov's own birds. It's a bit like saying F-15C's should have TWC because there were experimental birds that had it, or that J-32's should have radar because there was one that had it. (It was used by SAAB to test the radar for the J-35.)
