once, than anything

Once he caught sight of a flash of gold, but it was just a reflection from one of the Weasleys' wristwatches, and once a Bludger decided to come pelting his way, more like a cannonball than anything, but Harry dodged it and Fred Weasley came chasing after it.

(1) Do the two “once” have the same meaning or not?
(2) Does the “than anything” have the same meaning as “than anything else”?

Yes, they mean the same thing. There was one time during the quiddich match when the first thing happened, and there was one time (another time than the first) that the second thing happened. Yes, it was more like a cannonball than it was like anything else.
