Do I have the right diatomaceous earth for killing mites etc (not for mulch) Bought from local landscape place it's the only type they had. It looks very fine to me, puffs in a cloud when poured/shaken/moved. (With mask on)

Yes. That is the stuff you need but be sparing with your dressings as DE can be used for amending soil, too much can mess with your composition. If you can, try getting a 'powder duster' to apply to the top of your soil. Did you also get nematodes SF? You can get them online, a egg powder that you water in and they will eat the gnat larvae ;)

A quick search online from the manufacturer’s website says yes that’s the stuff to kill bugs with.
