If so, I have some digging to do to find them, but wanted to make sure. Thanks for all the help the previous posts have already offered!
Yes, those appear to be the correct fuses. The black rubber one on the battery side is a factory fuse holder that should take an SFE-4 fuse once you get the old broken pieces out. The white plastic one is an aftermarket replacement fuse holder that might need a longer fuse, but don't put anything larger than 4 Amp in there though.

No, the wires don't run directly to the back of the meter. They go to pins #1 and #12 of the rectangular plug on the back of the instrument cluster. From there, traces on the printed circuit (that's on the back of the cluster) make the connection to the meter.
