The route looks OK.
Yes, there would have been grommets (talk with Brian Asbury - he used to have them in felt, early ones may have been rubber).
Securing clips were used along the lines (and even if they hadn't been used originally I would put them on to ensure against vibration wearing through the line at any contact points you don't notice). Most surviving clips I've seen have been plain metal similar in shape to the photo.
