Hi! Welcome!

For your purposes there is no difference between various film caps, use what is available and within specs.

The fuse is likely 250V, my guess is 1-1/2A.
Look for markings on both caps, they seem clean enough to me.
Fuses do not protect components. They protect the wires from going on fire due to faulty components, so look for the reason it burned. Bad tube, bad electrolytic cap etc.
Else you wil expend another fuse for no good reason.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
