1. It doesn't follow that it will only monitor port 80, just take a look at the avastUI, Settings, Troubleshooting, Redirect settings for the web and you will see many more than just port 80. Effectively it will monitor http protocol traffic on whatever port is used. Also look at the redirect ports for the Mail SMTP, POP, IMAP and NNTP ports, generally the local port will have 12 in front of these ports.
The avastSvc.exe manages all of the shields and all of the ports that those shields redirect on, namely the Mail shield, 12110, 12119, 12143, the secure redirects also 12465/12563/12993, etc. etc.
2. You are aware that the avast forum server is located in Germany and the IP is the one in your image 178.63.99.109.
In all honesty trying to micromanage the avastSvc.exe settings in a firewall is a little like peeing into wind, lots of effort for little return.
