Having just replaced my own kitchen sink recently, and going through hell...
The top part, grey pipe into the white pipe . It's the wrong piece. You want a new connection like your middle one, that threads.
As for the drain that goes into your wall, you want to pull the white pipe out (it should be nesseled into a large pipe - usually black or grey - that is inside the wall) do not yank it. If it pulls out easily, then you need to apply glue. Is it does not budge, that means that it is already glued; which would be a bigger issue that I can't help with on-line.
All items can be found at hardware stores; but I have found that getting the right fitting for the sink is the hard part (when I installed a dishwasher in a house that never had one before). The key is making sure that you either open all the packs and make sure that everything screws together before you take it home, or be super great at visualization. This also needs to be applied to ALL threads, even if they do not leak.
1.25" stainless plug.

Those things are stupid expensive to what is basically a cooling rack for your sink. What do you need one for?

Works pretty well the seal they give for the clean out is useless, so a little Teflon works well.
You could give the support arms a try, I've had success with them where glue jobs failed.

I would take a look at Cinclips. These screw into your cabinetry and just brace the sink from below, rather than needing to screw into the counter top. They worked wonders for my friend's kitchen sink.
clips and epoxy
Similar issue a couple of weeks ago. This is what I used to reinstall a china lavatory that dropped down. Worked like a charm. Epoxied the clips to the granite, and let dry for 24 hours.
Run a bead of sillycone around the sink and mounted it using 2- 1x4's some all thread rod nuts and washers. Let dry for 24 hours. Then trimmed it out.

You can use these instead of that DIWHY bracing. https://www.amazon.com/CINCLIPS-Undermount-Clips-Brackets-Supports/dp/B00O1HKYMW/ref=lp_15836086011_1_1?srs=15836086011&ie=UTF8&qid=1510863002&sr=8-1

If you are open to replacing it, buy a snappy trap. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I2XQ56U/ They are made for shallow sink and drain applications. Mine was worse than yours so you should have room for your disposal. Here's a pic
