Just got new SLX brakes and the mounts have these little plastic bits. What are they for?

They clip onto the bolt heads to prevent the bolts coming undone.

As above. Do the bolt up as normal then snap it around the bolt head with the prongs inwards. The head should be serrated. Stops it vibrating loose

Also completely pointless.

But should you grease the bolts?
