I think the 2nd bracelet (from the elbow) is one of the two diamond bracelets of the set, and not a different bracelet. Its particular look on this photo might just be a coincidence due to the respective position of each bracelet around the arm.
On the picture below, from the same photo session, the bracelet looks totally similar to the other four.
About your second question, and this picture:
I do not know which are the smaller bracelets.
I am not totally sure, but the ring could be this one (here worn by Queen Elizabeth II during her State visit to Nepal in 1986). In my files, I have noted it was a wedding gift to Queen Mary from her brothers. The ring is also pictured in Angela Kelly's book Dressing the Queen (page 91).
The long pearl and diamond sautoir the Queen-mother is wearing on the picture is one of her wedding gifts, presented by "the Citizens of London". She has rarely worn it, and only in the 1920s - maybe because this style of sautoir went out of fashion after the 1930s... I would love to see it worn again - maybe by the Duchess of Cambridge, along with the Papyrus Tiara or the Cartier Halo Tiara!
