1) Yes you should be able to install those rod on to the Diamond piston. Make sure the pistons are for .927" pin diameter. Most all after market pistons now days are.

2) The rods and pistons themselves will not give you anymore power. They will however allow you to run more NO2 or boost if that is what your end goal is which will give you more HP. But pistons and rods alone will not give you anymore measurable power.

The differance from 6.100" rods to 6.125" rods is not much. Like I say it may but you will never be able to feel the differance. I do use 6.125" Rods in all my builds but mostly because of ease of availability. You biggest seat of the pants feel is going to come from a bigger cam, head porting, other bolt ons and a good quality tune.
