In this the power connector(s) are in the same position as the empty slot above,
The 4 pins next to the SATA data connector on the Seagate drive are nonstandard. Their purpose is not documented in Seagate manual: http://goo.gl/t2lncu
I doubt they are some kind of secondary power connector. Far more likely are a programming header, a debug port, an auxiliary feature output (e.g. drive activity LED), a configuration jumper...

No need. The Newegg page shows the connectors clearly:

If this is a standard SATA enclosure, only the two keyed edge connectors need to be used, as Kai says.
