Cluster Mine and Conner Net are indeed bombs. See the bombs list.

There's still some speculation on whether you're allowed to discard a bomb card twice with Minefield Mapper and Extra Munitions. The FFG forums are the place to go for that discussion, but the general view I've had to take is assume you can't until FFG gives us a FAQ covering it. Err on the side of the reserved interpretation: you can discard each card once with Minefield Mapper, removing the munition token. Then you're left with the bomb cards themselves, to drop normally over the course of a couple rounds.

If the attacker has to measure range thorugh at least one of your bombs, you get to add an evade result. Now, attackers aren't necessarily going to behave as you expect. Plowing thorugh an obstacle to get through to you, or sending a cheap ship through your bomb wall to blaze a path, are acceptable prices to pay to make sure they can bring their weapons to bear. But any time you can use your bombs as cover, you'll gain the benefit.
