when going from a LN to an anime they need to be cautious of how much information they put into each episode and how they present the information. the MC talking to himself for the entire episode would turn viewers off and make it boring to watch, which ends up giving us less information and details than the novel. its unfortunate but there arent many ways around it, the LN just has so much information that its hard to condense it and put it all into the anime. this could also be the reason for albedo not holding the world class item, since that would require explanation and might ruin the flow of the anime.

as for the visual changes, when going from a manga to an anime you get more creative freedom with settings and character designs. you cant do much with small black and white panels, but with an anime you have many more opportunities to add colors/details/contrast in order to make it closer to its original design.

as for Sebas going outside on his own, you will often see very minor changes like this in almost all anime. i dont know why they bother to make such small changes since it doesnt really affect much, but its very common nonetheless. you should expect other minor changes like this in the future.

lastly about the characters looking different, thats just the different art style since there are different people doing the designs for the anime. its to be expected that they will be slightly different from So-bin's artwork in the LN.
