Thanks a lot! I'll grab a full size hacksaw :)
Regarding the files, do you think I should grab other shapes/dimensions, or is my selection good enough for what I plan to do?
For vices I'll look around, we don't do Ebay much in France as we have another website for second hand sale, but every second-hand vice that can clamp on a table that I found so far looks very dainty and low quality.

yeah youll probably be alright with those, a half round one can be nice but depends, maybe buy if you find you need it.
Ah ok yeah if not ebay its the kinda thing you see at carboot sales and stuff. For making it removable you could bolt the vice to a piece of wood and then clamp that to a table and unclamp when needed. I think there arent many nice vices that are also removable.

Vallorbe files i like yeah
Smaller hacksaws, sometimes called junior hacksaws, are a bit awkward to use unless you have tiny hands, might as well get a big one. Just makes jobs go faster, ive never needed a small one.
A decent drill bit set is pretty handy, shit bits are not super fun to use. As long as its not the cheapest one itll probably be alright.
For vices id suggest getting something on ebay. Ive bought quite a few old slightly banged up Vices on ebay and you just de rust a bit and maybe some painting and its good to go, and you dont need to spend that much. Usually theyre better build quality as well if theyre a bit older.
