Sorry what year car, that battery sounds like it should be in a motorcycle or lawn tractor.
It must start the car but being low on cranking amps will be hard on the starter, get a bigger battery.
At least 600 CCA / 75 AH or more.

Are you in the UK?
It looks like the guy just put in the smallest/cheapest battery to sell the car, but as you state it is not large enough to maintain the cars electronics. Replace the battery ASAP to avoid causing damage to the starter, as it will not be getting enough current to do the job/start the car.

Yes that would be more than adequate.
As long as it fits into the space for the battery you are good to go.
Good Luck

The Bosch battery sounds really substantial,
PS for the UK any recomendation for where to buy batteries as I need one too.
I see the batteryguys.com are pretty good prices.
