In my house, the previous occupant has done all sorts of terrible things with the electrics, the shower (9.5kW) fed with 2.5mm to name just one!

The lates bodge found was behind a wall cabinet. At one time, there used to
be a double mains socket, which has been removed complete with back box and
replaced with a standard round junction box. The hole has been gouged out to
allow it to be sunk. From this, a short spur to a new, lower position.

My requirement is to open the ring at this point and run another couple or
three of sockets. I know that crimps are the way to go, but tell me this:

1) Are these crimps the same blue ones as I use for auto electrical work?

2) Should the earth be connected straight through, or connected to a
replacement back box (removed during this bodge).
