Looks like an imobiliser fob socket. with regard to the alarm fob you may need a card with a code on it, mines like that anyway.

First pic is a ultrasonic processor detection box. Do you have a Cat1? or little boxes on the A or C pillers/dash?

By little boxes you mean like little black things on the top of the pillars either side of the windscreen? I have two circular ones  :undecided:

1st pic is clearly for ultrasonics

2nd pic is for an alarm bypass, IE if the batteries died in your alarm fob , the fob could be put in the socket to bypass alarm/immobilisor
Possible made by META or simular

Yea.....do you have an alarm? If so that is what detects the intrusion.

I don't have an alarm, or at least not one installed. Although behind my glovebox I have a couple of wires disconnected? Even if I did have an alarm I have no key for it? Just my normal VW key.
