Any recommendations for a better (possibly slimmer) AC Adapter?

I didn't have any issues with the size of the AC adapter so it worked fine for me. I can see how it might be a bit cumbersome though, if this needed to be installed in a smaller area. Unfortunately, I do not have any recommendations on a different adapter, but in theory, a different one might be able to be used at your own risk. For reference, the one that came with mine says this for the output: 12 V 1.5 A 18 W

Is this just used to stream video can you send email or play MMO's while using this?

It basically runs at full duplex T-100. Unless you are streaming uncompressed video, which Hulu, Netflix, etc. don't, this should be able to handle all you could throw at it.

Run ethernet over coax, TV not involved. Is power adapter used in this application?

Yes. power adapter needed for DECA at each end.

How 2 bypass Comcast monopoly?12.50/mo 4 their wifi, Own 3-no coax.They wont upgrade rtr/modem w/ethernet. Min speed/exp basic. Help!

The DCA has to be connected to the a router and the other end to the power unit and the other port to a splitter off the coax router. Another has to be put at a coax and the ethernet from that will work running at 200 mps usually. I learned this from looking at a Samsung diagram for DirecTV RVU television connection online.
