1. The connector WF_BT_USB provides power to optional PCIe WiFi+Bluetooth adapter. Without the connection, Wifi will work but Bluetooth won't. Here is a typical adapter + cable for your system.
2. Motherboard header for intrusion switch. When enable in BIOS settings, it can detect the machine being opened and will shut down the system. Here is a typical intrusion switch for your system.
3. Slot 2 is called PCIe x16 slot, mainly used for a low profile discrete graphics card (video card). Slot 1 is used for add-on PCIe x1 card, such as the wireless adapter card from answer #1.
Typical Dell low profile graphics card.
4. DIMM1 is memory slot which can be used to add more memory as from DIMM1. A typical memory module is below.
5. Connector for a Card reader as the name indicated. It is used to connect an optional card reader module.

For #4, that slot will allow another memory to be added for expansion.
Compatible memory from Dell https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-memory-upgrade-16-gb-2rx8-ddr4-udimm-2666-mt-s/apd/aa101753/memory
Compatible memory from third party seller https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/dell/optiplex-3050-small-form-factor
For #5, optional Card Reader can be purchased and install to the system. See example items on big auction site then search for it in your region/market, using item description or Dell part number TT15C.
Refer to service manual for installation https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/optiplex-3050-sff/optiplex-3050-desktop-sff-om/removing-the-sd-card-reader?guid=guid-647e7917-69fa-47e7-a53c-1a55952fdafe&lang=en-us
