Lots of businesses include IP address that they suspect weren't yours, but your other two points are very strong.
I an definite that this email is a fraud. Notice that the email doesn't greet you with your name, and the bank certainly knows it, since you have an account with them. The only thing that is asked of you is your details, and you are given a vague threat about the consequences of not provising your information.
