The tunnel watched by the NPCs is an older tunnel than those three, and is the one that was opened through the fissure that formed last cycle! It's been there for a while and is just slowly opening wider thanks to excavation efforts.
The wall growths are basically identical to the tentacles, and very similar to the eyes. They are not similar to the flesh walls.
It is absolutely possible and indeed likely to pass out in the tunnel, and if this happens, it'll be pretty awful! Pal's heartbeat will sync to the strange rhythm, which won't be circulating his blood correctly. He'll wake up eventually disoriented and bleeding from the ears with limbs gone fully numb and some extremities completely bloodless. He'll likely need to be pulled free, but could possibly drag himself back to the entrance before collapsing.
There's... glitter?
There are absolutely still bones in the catacombs, yes!
cw: body horror & blood
