Well about the frist question, its been a while since i played Bg1 for the last time but i think he only had a robe (knave or adventurers or something like this), a lightning scroll and maybe a wand.
About the kobolds, just equip your best fighter (preferably proficient in bows or crossbows) with the boots of avoidance and any other anti missile stuff you might have (cloak of displacement, claw of kazgaroth, a big shield) and kill all the kobolds with him. Its the way i usually did it and it worked for me. Dont forget that the more you get killed and reload, more monsters will appear so do it carefully and it wont be that hard. If its still difficult, use this antimissile dude to explore, and use the rest of the party to support with ranged weapons from the back.
LUCK !!
