Since SAO has player collision, the kids couldn't get past the Army thugs... so they'd have to wait for rescue or do what the nasty adults say... and since they had already stripped their armor / weapons off, there wouldn't be much more they could remove without... well... yah. And you surely don't expect three young children to carry around much cash.

The army soldiers all look identical, because of their armor, but most of the standard male characters all look different enough, and we've seen enough variety in recent episodes.
And if you're wondering why an anime show is full of cute girls, you've probably already lost ^_^

Since Kirito didn't see the Lumberjack in question, having him look like a steretypical lumberjack does sorta make perfect sense.

Also, since character avatar's don't really seem to age (two years later, remember) it's quite possible she was younger than eight when SAO started. That's awfully young, assuming she joined with her parents on day one a lot could go wrong in that time period. And since this episode showed us other young children, it's fairly obvious kids are indeed trapped in here.
