Yup, that's 100% insect eggs. Keep an eye on your tree, but in general they're not anything to worry about - Avocados in the tropics play home to...
That's very encouraging! It means that the corm wasn't completely frozen, just the above-ground parts of the meristem. The baby shoot you see is...
This happens quite often with banana plants - it can be caused by a number of things, including slight overwatering, slight underwatering, too...
